Details
Developed from a selection of F-1 Sunsugar by Rachel and Tevis Robertson-Goldberg of Crabapple Farm in Chesterfield, MA, Honeydrop was created as a sweet, juicy, and fruity tomato, reminiscent of white grapes, and known for its resistance to cracking in wet weather. Beyond its resilience, Honeydrop excels in taste, presenting an exceptionally sweet, well-flavored, and full-bodied profile that makes it the ideal snacking tomato. This variety, developed with care and dedication by the Robertson-Goldbergs, embodies the essence of cherry tomatoes with its honey-like sweetness and robust flavor, setting a new standard for taste and quality in cherry tomatoes.
