Does anyone know any good sources of "heritage" seeds that are not hybrids?
I'm looking for what used to be called "creole tomatoes" when I lived in Louisiana?
Thanks!
Please don't send email to this address, post to the group :)

Try a web search for "Totally Tomatoes," If you join the Seed Saver's Exchange, their member yearbook has 25 pages of tomatoes.... I didn't look through them all... what color is the one you're looking for?

Tomato Growers supply has:
Creole #2836 (30 seeds) $2.00 Developed in Louisiana for warm, humid climates, this variety yields plenty of smooth, medium-large round tomatoes. Good, sweet tomato flavor and plenty of juice, plus resistance to fusarium and blossom end rot make this one a Southern favorite. Indeterminate. 78 days.
