Default any good source of seeds for tomatoes.

Of course, you could always go to the store and buy a tomato you like.

They usually come with seeds.


And, of course, it would be a crap shoot, knowing whether those seeds
would be the same as the parents. They could revert to something lame.


The usual litany about store bought tomatoes is that - unless you are
assured otherwise - those tomatoes are bred to be as hardy and tough as can
be such that they can withstand the kind of handling and processing the
backyard tomatoes cannot.

Do a web search on tomato seeds and you'll run across a number of vendors.
You'll be overwhelmed with the different varieties out there for the home
gardener. And unless you want to keep purchasing your seeds, opt for one of
the heirloom varieties. JoeSpareBedroom's comments apply to hybrids as well
as the store bought ones.
