Heirloom from the Great Plains of the USA. It was first introduced by Dorothy Beiswinger of MN back in 1983 to the Seed Savers Exchange, before most of the current commercial seed sources even existed.

Dorothy received the seed from a friend in Nebraska, and the donor said that brides were given this tomato as a gift.
