Plant Features

Amish Paste Tomato Plants produce sweet, juicy fruits with few seeds and a full, rich flavor that doesn't cook away. They are excellent for making tomato sauces, salsas, or tomato paste, justifying their namesake. They are also a versatile addition to salads, sandwiches, or simply eaten fresh straight from the vine. This heirloom tomato is thought to have originated in the late 1800's with the Amish people in Wisconsin. The tomatoes are a deep red color and have a slightly irregular shape, ranging from plum-shaped to oxheart-shaped, averaging 8-12 ounces in weight. With their large size and flavorful flesh.

Our Amish Paste Tomato Plants are grown with a commitment to natural methods, ensuring they're healthy and robust. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Healthy plant

I received my Amish Paste tomato plant last week, and it’s doing great! They packaged my plants with care.

From Amanda | July 30, 2024

purchaser

Grew Amish Paste for the first time last year, second year ordering from GrowJoy. Plants did not need hardening like those from other vendors. Fruits were huge, solid and with few seeds. Flavor was excellent. My favorite for BLT's and canning.

So far growing Awesome

So far these are the best tomato plants I have bought. I will be buying again from Growjoy❤️❤️

From DENISE | October 08, 2023

GREAT PRODUCT

The Amish Paste tomatoes arrived in time and in great shape. Planted and doing well.

From anonymous | June 19, 2023

So much potential!

My entire order was shipped with a care, and the plants clearly show the same kind of care was taken to grow them. I was so excited for this plant in particular, it was already sturdy and established when it arrived so I just knew it was going to be a fast grower. I was definitely proven right in a couple weeks! Unfortunately, it looks like its succumbing to curly top virus. It's about 2.5 ft tall and hasn't/won't set bloosoms. It's a total bummer. I'm not entirely sure if it was infected before it arrived or after transplanting, regardless though, I'm going to give it another shot!

Cute lil plant

This lil guy was just added to green house.

Get a big pot

Within a month of arriving on my doorstep, these two plants are in good shape. I put one in a 20” pot and it has doubled in size and has buds already. I put the other in a 12” pot and it’s more sluggish and smaller.

Great

Arrived well and is flourishing

AMISH PASTE

Very well pleased with the plants I received.The plants arrived strong and healthy and undamaged. The only reason this is not rated five stars is that I have only had the plants for a week, so of course, have not tasted the harvest. I have every confidence I will continue to be well pleased.

From ANGELA | May 11, 2018

Arrived quickly and in good health

The plants arrived on the first day of the 'ship by' window, and looked really healthy. I'm impressed by the packing material...kept them moist and safe. The plants have already grown an inch or more in just one week! Can't wait for the tomatoes from these Amish Paste plants!
