This variety originates from a Mennonite community in the Shennandoah Valley of Virginia circa the mid 1800's. The Mennonites take great pride in preserving their heritage, faith, and way of life and are responsible for cultivating many excellent heirloom vegetable varieties. The seeds came into commercial production in 1985.
The hearty potato leaf plants often grow to 2.4-3m (8-10') tall. Plants produce moderate yields of up to 900g (2 lb.) fragrant, decorative and nearly seedless tomatoes.
