That someone sells Heirloom tomotoes at the farmers market, I think it may
have been Tomatoe Lord.Was I right and if so when will they start and are
they sold as starter plants or seeds?

You might be thinking of Craig LeHoullier. Here's a link to his list of plants
for this year:

Some do really taste better, others are probably grown more of the novelty
(green & white stripes, etc). Whether you'll end up thinking that they really
do taste better than hybrids depends on which variety you pick.

IMHO, the Pink Brandywine is close to the ultimate tomato for flavor.
Unfortunately, it doesn't produce very well in my garden.

The Durham Garden Center on Hillsborough Rd will be selling these this year, and according to my friend
who works there they are going to try to have the Tomatoman in for a talk on heirloom tomatoes (and
maybe a tasting!) later in the summer.

to try.Those two have a nice web page with lots of info.Looks like they
