Some of the tomatoes growing in Curious Croppers' Clevedon greenhouses are black like plums, some look like pleated skirts or are yellow with a fuzzy skin like a peach.
Many are gnarly, striped, wrinkly and enormous.
"The show-off in us wants to grow big, show off-tomatoes," says Anthony Tringham.
"We pull off all the boring ones. We want our tomatoes to be works of art....Some we grow because they are beautiful and some we grow because they are delicious."
Years ago, Anthony and his wife Angela grew only cherry tomatoes.
"It was very, very boring," says Anthony.
So they pulled out half of all the plants in their greenhouses and "replanted them with gorgeous, interesting, yummy things and our customers were far more excited with them."
Now Anthony and Angela persevere with about 40 varieties of often temperamental heirloom tomatoes.
"Every season two or three varieties don't germinate at all and they are always the ones you've got the highest hopes for," says Angela.
"And," says Anthony "if you look in a seed catalogue every plant would be described as beautiful and unique and luscious and delicious."
"With big fruit and maximum flavour," chips in Angela.
"And strong yields and good growth habits and easy picking," continues Anthony.
"I've yet to read in a seed catalogue, where it says 'this one grows like crap, don't plant it'," says Angela with a laugh.
Curious Croppers sells 70 percent of its tomatoes to directly to restaurants.
