Tomato Heirloom Seeds

Mortgage Lifter, a variety of (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) tomato, is an indeterminate type that produces huge beefsteak fruits with an average weight of 2 ½ lb. The fruit has a rich, sweet, and meaty flavor that is highly desirable among tomato enthusiasts.

According to the story behind this variety, it was created by a tomato farmer who was on the brink of bankruptcy. He crossed some of his largest tomato varieties to develop this enormous and impressive fruit, which he then sold as seedlings for $1 each to pay off his $6000 mortgage in just 6 years.
