History and Origin

• Discovery and Heritage: Introduced in the 1970s by tomato enthusiast Kenneth Miller from Reynoldsburg, Ohio, who obtained seeds from Amish growers near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Some sources trace its roots to Wisconsin Amish communities in the late 1800s.
• Heirloom Status: Open-pollinated and non-hybrid, passed down through generations. It gained popularity through seed savers like the Seed Savers Exchange (SSE), debuting in their 1980 yearbook.
• Cultural Significance: Represents Amish agricultural traditions, emphasizing flavor over uniformity in heirloom gardening.
