Strawberry Cherry tomato is an original variety from Metchosin Farm—and honestly, one of the best cherry tomatoes we've ever tasted! It offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and produces heavy clusters of small fruits, ranging from single stems to triple clusters. The fruits ripen to a unique and attractive pink hue, bringing as much color to the garden as to the plate. We are particularly proud of this variety, which has become a staple in our seed catalog and trial gardens.

Where to Grow Strawberry Cherry Tomatoes
This variety grows best in zones 3 to 9, in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. It is ideal for outdoor gardens and patio containers, but it is particularly productive in a greenhouse or protected areas.

History and Uses
Strawberry Cherry is an open-pollinated variety recently developed by Metchosin Farm. Selected over several years for its flavor, color, and vigor, it was specifically designed for fresh consumption. It is perfect for summer snacks, children's gardens, or for any gardener looking for a delicious and aesthetic cherry tomato.
