Tomato 'Hazel Field Farm'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Hazel Field Farm is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Hazel Field Farm needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Look to ensure a distance 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Hazel Field Farm about 42 days before your last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Hazel Field Farm is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.

Developed from a volunteer plant from Gary Millwood’s friends Teresa and Raphe, who grow for the Farmer’s Market in Lexington, Frankfort and Cincinnati and sometimes Louisville (Kentucky, USA). Teresa and Raphe stabilized this variety for 10 years and shared the seed with Gary. Named after Raphe and Teresa’s farm in Wheatley, Kentucky. Gary sent the seed to Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T) in October 2006 and mentioned that she was the first person he had shared the seed with outside of Kentucky. Introduced commercially by Baker Creek in 2008.
