Plant Features

Amish Paste tomatoes are kitchen treasures, known for their large, meaty fruits that shine in sauces and beyond. This heirloom variety yields bright red tomatoes weighing 8 to 12 ounces, ranging from plum to oxheart shapes with smooth, firm skin that resists cracking—great for canning, sauces, or fresh eating. The flesh is thick and juicy, offering a rich, slightly sweet tomato flavor.

Why grow Amish Paste? Hailing from Wisconsin’s Amish communities since the late 1800s, this indeterminate plant reaches 4–6 feet with support, producing consistent yields through the season. Its vigorous growth and cracking resistance make it a dependable choice for gardeners who value versatility and robust taste in their tomatoes.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Amish Paste starter plants arrive strong and ready to perform in your garden. Nurtured with care, they deliver a hearty crop of these timeless tomatoes for your table.

When to Plant	Transplant in frost-free weather, nights above 45°F (spring or late summer)
Soil Setup	Use loose, well-draining soil, pH 6.0–6.8, with compost or manure (fall prep ideal)
Watering Tips	Soak in-ground plants deeply 1–2 times weekly (unless rain suffices), keep leaves dry if evening; keep containers moist, up to twice daily in heat
Feeding Your Plants	Apply a balanced fertilizer or our recommended Espoma Tomato-tone at planting and every 3 weeks thereafter
Shaping & Support	Prune suckers (side shoots between stem and branches) if desired—it’s optional. Support plants with stakes or cages

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.

From David | January 09, 2024

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

Received quickly and they were packaged so carefully that the plants were in amazing condition. Very hardy and great producers. Will be ordering again next year.

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!

Amish Paste

This plant really surprised me. And boy did it take off I had to cut bamboo to tie up this plant it grew and grew 14 feet tall with the tomatoes like a hand grenade and very tasty

Cute lil plant

This lil guy was just added to green house.

From anonymous | October 04, 2021

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.

From anonymous | May 30, 2021

Great

Arrived well and is flourishing

From Chad | May 16, 2018

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

Loving Heirloom Plants

Live in an area that its hard to find starter plants especially Heirloom plants. Ordered my whole veggie garden plants through GrowJoy. All came in perfect and ready to plant. Excited to see the garden grow.

Amish Paste Tomato

Plants arrived in excellent shape, planted them in the garden and they are doing fine so far.

From Debra | July 06, 2015

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!
