Indeterminate, 80 days for ripe fruit. Meme Beauce is an heirloom tomato that hails from Quebec, Canada. Picture it: it’s 1995 in St. Joseph de Beauce, an old abandoned house is being renovated by a young carpenter. While rummaging through the basement, she finds 200 tomato seeds of unknown origin. She asks her neighbors about the previous owners gardening habits but the neighbors insist that the house has been abandoned for at least 30 years, and there had been no garden there for over 60 years. She then gave the seeds to Gérard Parent. Of the 200 seeds only 3 germinated. These plants were grown out making the variety available in the 2009 Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook for the first time thanks to Donald C. Kellums from Port Byron, Illinois. These tomatoes are medium to large pink 5-9 oz.fruits with silky smooth thin skin and juicy flesh. The flavor is spectacular and calls back to the old fashion tomato taste.
