New All-American Selection Winner For 2026!

We are very excited to announce that BadaBing! F1 Tomato from the Cream of the Crop breeding program has been given an All-American Selections regional award.

BadaBing! F1 Tomato: This is our first release with TomatoGuard™ protection against SLS (Septoria Leaf Spot), EB (Early Blight) and LB (Late Blight).  Outstanding flavor, coupled with an amazing disease tolerance that will allow for open field and tunnel production in the most challenging production areas. Cocktail sized fruits are 1.5″ and bright red. Developed with licensed donor lines (SLS and EB) from Dr. Martha Mutschler at Cornell University and a portion of all sales are paid to the University.

Multiple Pest Resistances (MPR) to: Septoria Leaf Spot:IR, Early Blight:IR, ToMV:HR, Bacterial Speck:HR, Root Knot Nematode:HR, Fusarium Wilt Race 1/2:HR, Verticilium Wilt Va/Vd:HR, Late Blight PH2 & PH3:HR.

The combination of SLS and EB has plagued tomato growers in the Mid-West and Eastern U.S. for decades, with LB adding increased threat of total crop destruction in some areas.  Fungicide control is difficult for conventional producers and almost impossible for organic tomato growers.  We believe the new combination of disease resistance traits in TomatoGuard™ hybrids will offer significant protection against most tomato diseases and greatly reduce the risk of crop loss for tomato growers.
