Mountain Miracle Tomato Seeds - Lycopersicon lycopersicum
Non-GMO Open-Pollinated Rare, Mountain Miracle Tomato Seeds
These seeds come from the hands and fields of Casey Piscura, an organic seed breeder and production farmer farming at 6,400 feet in the mountains of Carbondale, Colorado. His work is shaped by cold soils, short seasons, and the need for plants that can adapt rather than collapse under pressure. We are grateful to share four of his tomato varieties, each selected over many seasons under real growing conditions.
This tomato emerged from years of patient selection as a strong, dependable pink heirloom–type — early to ripen, generous in yield, and resilient in unpredictable weather. Rather than breeding for uniformity alone, Casey works with grexes, sometimes called hybrid swarms. A grex is a diverse seed population created by crossing multiple well-adapted parents and then saving seed from the best-performing plants, year after year. Over time, this process builds genetic diversity, vigor, and adaptability, allowing the plants to respond intelligently to different soils, climates, and growing systems.
These tomatoes grow with strength in both open fields and greenhouses, pushing through cool spring soils and tolerating light frosts that often challenge early plantings. Flavor is central to the selection — full, rich, and satisfying — alongside natural disease tolerance and overall plant health.
This seed represents an ongoing relationship between land, plant, and farmer. It is not static or finished, but alive and evolving — the kind of seed meant to be grown, saved, and shared, season after season.

Gardener Tips
Seeds should be planted indoors in a dome with heat and a light for 6-8 weeks. Harden off plants before planting for 7-10 days. Plant once all danger of frost has subsided.
Use row covers, if needed, and remove after temps have reached 80°. Plants require trellising or staking for support.
Water base of plant only.
Mulch at base of the plant. Read our blog post on The Power of Mulching
