J&L Gardens - Heirloom Tomatoes and Rare Vegetables

Welcome to J&L Gardens, an independent breeding and research farm for tomatoes and other vegetables. 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*.                                            

A garden and home-grown fruit and vegetables are a joy in good times and a necessity in hard times. *We trust your purpose will be limited to that enjoyment and not in seeking to restrict or patent the varieties, their traits, or their genetics. We consider the gifts contained in the seed to be the comman heritage of all.

                             Our Story

J&L is home to over 1000 varieties of  tomatoes and rare vegetables from our rich heritage of heirloom and open pollinated types.
For 35 years we have farmed in the fertile upper Rio Grande river valley near Espanola, New Mexico. In addition to tomatoes, we take melons and cucumbers, apples and other fruits , along with specialty potatoes and garlic to farmer's markets in Santa Fe and Los Alamos and provide produce to local restaurants. 

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.
