Thanks to the Philadelphia Inquirer for spending time with us at Burpee's Fordhook Farm this week in anticipation of our annual Burpee Open Day tomorrow, July 27th. Fordhook Farm is where we breed and trial Burpee plants in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The historic property was purchased by our founder, W. Atlee Burpee in 1888. Our tradition of opening the farm to the public dates back to the late 1800s. We hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/eWYjHYSx

I enjoyed meeting the namesake of one of Burpee’s iconic innovations during his recent visit. Jordan Shifriss lived at Fordhook Farm as a small boy with his parents—his dad bred our Big Boy tomato and named it after Jordan. Shifriss remembers wandering the seed fields with the Burpee children and their dog. His mom always said if she could see his curly hair and the dog's tail, she knew he was all right. Dr. Oved Shifriss was head of plant breeding for Burpee from 1942 to 1950. His breeding of the Big Boy tomato in 1949 revolutionized home gardening, particularly what was the difficult art of growing tomatoes. Dr. Shifriss was an unconventional thinker amid more conventional plant breeders. He spent much of the 1940's combining thousands of cross pollinations between different pairs of tomato ''parents'' until he finally hit on a plant that was disease resistant, compact and bush-like rather than a sprawling vine, one that produced an abundance of full, fragrant fruits that could weigh more than a pound. Big Boy is still a customer favorite today, over 70 years later. https://rb.gy/0uwrne.
