Mortgage Lifter Halladay's

25 Seeds Per Packet

The Mortgage Lifter Halladay's Tomato is a legendary heirloom variety known for its large size, rich flavor, and history. The tomatoes typically weigh 1–2 pounds and have a smooth, beefsteak-like shape with a deep red color. The flesh is juicy and meaty, offering a sweet, full-bodied flavor with just a hint of tang, making it ideal for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh eating.

80-90 days from transplant. Indeterminate plants grow to 6–8 feet tall, producing a generous yield of these large, flavorful tomatoes throughout the growing season. These plants thrive in full sun and benefit from consistent moisture for the best flavor and texture. Staking or caging is highly recommended to support the weight of the fruit.

Developed in the 1930s by a farmer named Jesse Halladay, the Mortgage Lifter Halladay's Tomato gained fame for its ability to help Halladay pay off his mortgage by selling the large tomatoes. Its rich history and excellent taste have made it a favorite among heirloom tomato enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate both its past and its delicious flavor.
