🌈 Big Rainbow Tomato: A Masterpiece from the North If you are looking for the "crown jewel" of beefsteak tomatoes, look no further than the Big Rainbow. A stunning heirloom that hails from the rugged growing conditions of Polk County, Minnesota, this variety is world-renowned for its massive size, breathtaking interior colors, and sweet, fruity flavor. 📜 The Story: A Polk County Legend The Big Rainbow is a true success story of the Seed Savers Exchange. It was brought to national attention by Dorothy Beiswenger of Fisher, Minnesota (Polk County). Dorothy was a legendary seed saver who shared this variety with the Seed Savers Exchange in 1983. Despite the shorter growing seasons of Northern Minnesota, this variety thrived, proving that with enough sun and care, you can produce world-class, giant tomatoes anywhere. By growing Big Rainbow, you are continuing a legacy of Midwestern horticultural preservation. ✨ Key Features Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: A stable variety that has been passed down through generations. Bicolor Beauty: The fruit features a spectacular "sunset" pattern—bright yellow and gold skin with vivid red streaks radiating from the blossom end. Massive Beefsteak: These are heavy hitters, often weighing between 1 to 2 pounds each. Indeterminate Growth: The vines are vigorous and will continue to produce fruit throughout the season until the first frost. 🍅 Flavor & Texture Profile The Big Rainbow is often described as the "dessert" of tomatoes due to its high sugar content and low acidity. Attribute Description Color Golden-yellow marbled with ruby red Size Large to Extra-Large (Beefsteak) Flavor Sweet, mild, and fruity; very low acid Texture Meaty and succulent with very few seeds 🍴 Culinary Inspiration Because of its size and stunning interior marbling, this tomato is meant to be the star of the show: The Ultimate Slicer: Slice it thick to reveal the "rainbow" inside. It’s perfect for impressive Caprese salads or gourmet platters. Show-Stopping Sandwiches: One slice is often large enough to cover an entire piece of sourdough bread. Fresh Salsas: Its sweetness pairs beautifully with lime and cilantro for a mild, golden salsa. Bright Garnishes: Use it to add a pop of yellow and red to any dish without the harsh bite of high-acid varieties. 🪴 Growing Information Days to Maturity: 80–90 days (A late-season beauty). Plant Type: Indeterminate (Requires sturdy staking or caging). Sun Requirements: Full Sun. Fruit Size: 12–24+ oz. Gardener's Tip: Because these fruits are so heavy, ensure your support system (cages or trellises) is extra strong. To prevent cracking, maintain consistent watering as the large fruits approach maturity. Bring a piece of Minnesota heritage to your garden.The Big Rainbow Tomato is a testament to the passion of seed savers like Dorothy Beiswenger. It’s more than just a vegetable; it’s a vibrant, delicious piece of living history that will be the talk of your garden and your dinner table.

&nbsp;

PRIVACY POLICY

If for any reason you are not happy with a purchase, please email us at andre@fireflyfarmandmercantile.com so we can assist.&nbsp; We do provide refunds up to 10 days of you receiving merchandise. We may ask for the product to be returned to be eligible for a refund. We do not do refunds for shipping unless it is something we feel we could have done better. Carriers often don’t deliver based on their own timelines but you can always pick up at our garden shop too. Unlike most online garden retailers we have a business location too, so come in out and visit our farm.

REFUND POLICY

Sometimes the products purchased may weigh more or less than the calculated shipping rate. We try our best to determine the weights based on current and past inventory.&nbsp; We do provide refunds proactively and will communicate accordingly. And in some instances we may need to contact you for additional payment if the shipping warrants it.&nbsp;
We try our best to offer the right services for you at checkout. If we see an opportunity for a more desirable service we will reach out to you. Please ensure we have a good contact number or email&nbsp; so we can do so.&nbsp;
United States Postal Service and UPS services go out Monday through Friday. This allows us to ensure we provide a quality product at a reasonable rate. Any delivery times are just estimates from the carrier once they receive the package. We cannot change this due to Shopify’s policy. I would if I could as it can lead to some confusion. We are a small garden shop and have very little pull with any carrier (and seriously who really does with USPS or any other). For the most part UPS timelines have been the most consistent. But there are not delivery dates but days your package will be in transit once we drop it off. In average we take 1-4 business days to fulfill orders and then the carrier’s approximate shipping times are added to that.&nbsp;

SHIPPING POLICY

We accept various forms for payment. Currently we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as well as Google Pay and Shop Pay.
We strive to deliver on what we say we are going to do. Pre-orders are orders that are being taken without inventory on hand. The advantage is you get a great price, but sometimes crops just don't yield what is expected. We will use many different suppliers to fulfill your orders as best as possible. We won't substitute without your permission so please make sure you leave your best contact information so we can reach out to you. On occasion if unable to reach you, we will simply send the substitute product but you are welcome to call us once receiving it and letting us know you’d like a refund on it.
