Welcome to J&L Gardens, an independent breeding and research farm for tomatoes and other vegetables. For nearly 40 years we have farmed in the fertile upper Rio Grande Valley, raising produce for market and saving seed. From the revolutionary Ambrosia and Bosque lines of tomatoes to our latest artisan crosses with wild species we strive to bring the most flavorful and productive varieties to the market and to your garden. This season we have added unusual tomatoes from around the world, unique peppers, corns, and **new crosses of old favorites to grow and share*.**

Our Story

J&L is home to over 1500 varieties of tomatoes and rare vegetables from our rich heritage of heirloom and open pollinated types. Our seed bank also includes corns, beans and chile from nearly all of the Pueblos and traditional communities here in Northern New Mexico.

All our garden vegetables and fruit are raised using traditional, natural methods. We are opposed to GMO. We have taken the Safe Seeds Pledge and believe that sustainable farming and respecting and restoring the natural world is the only path forward.
