Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato is a visually stunning and flavorful cherry tomato variety developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms, a renowned breeder known for creating unique and colorful tomato varieties. This variety was bred for its striking appearance, exceptional flavor, disease resistance and vigorous vines with high productivity.
The Atomic Grape earned its name from its multicolored, iridescent skin that features a mesmerizing combination of green, purple, red, and gold hues. These colors develop as the fruit ripens, making the tomatoes a showstopper both on the vine and in salads. The tomato’s marbled flesh and sweet yet tangy flavor profile have made it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike.
Brad Gates introduced this variety as part of his efforts to push the boundaries of tomato breeding, focusing on unique aesthetics, resilience, and outstanding taste. The Atomic Grape Tomato has since gained popularity for home gardens, farmer’s markets, and gourmet kitchens.

Gardening Tips
Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 6-8 weeks.
Transplant:
It is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
Support:
Install a sturdy trellis, cage, or stakes early, as the indeterminate vines can grow tall and heavy with fruit. A good support system will protect your plants from heavy wind and rain.
Harvesting Tips
Tomatoes will be ripe once a blend of hues from green, purple, red, and gold begin to appear.
