I got probably over 100 tomatoes from 2 plants, each in a 4 gallon fabric bag.
It was too much work to keep it going in the heat of south for second flush. Had to water them twice a day. So I pulled them. By then I was getting bumper crop from other varieties.
I guess ya Just gotta keep a few SFT around ....no matter what ...

I grow in a high tunnel and often i get a 2nd crop off of many of my determinates. last year I grew Pink Cupcake from stokes and the second crop was as nice as the first crop. I wasn't expecting it I just didn't have time to mess with cleaning up the row.

All of the micro and tumbler determinates I've grown have given multiple flushes as long as I managed to keep the plant disease free and in enough light - which actually are significant challenges

I have 4 mini's varieties that never seem to give up .

Treat them nice in 2+ Gallons (not 1 gallon ) and they really perform .

Yellow Pygmy
Chibbiko
Rejina (Red)
Rejina Yellow

It translates as Market Miracle & googling will give you seed sources. TomatoBob, for one.

I grew Chibbiko this year. Very neat plant, and prolific, but I wasn't enthused about the flavour

Indet? Tania says "Most of the fruit ripen at the same time, and the plant will produce a second fruit set, if the season is long enough." It produced continuously for you, Karen?

The seeds I purchased from Seed Trust about 12 years ago says they are determinate plants.

well I grew in my greenhouse in edmonton so the season would not be long enough for two fruit sets if it was determinate. seems to me it was a pretty standard smallish RL indeterminate plant for me. I remember the fruit being pretty and uniform, flavour ,,,nice... not one for the books but a nice tomato for me. perhaps mine was not what it should have been because although I can't bet on it, I was pretty sure I remember it being pink not red. been a few years so not sure. Maybe I'll grow it out and see sometime.
