‘Galaxy’ of Grape Tomatoes Shines With Three New Varieties

Nov 18, 2025

Salads can get even more colorful with three varieties newly added to the “Galaxy Suite” of grape tomatoes, a snack-sized medley bred by a Cornell horticulturist.

“Green Nebula,” “Stargazer” and “Cosmic Pink” are currently available for preorder through High Mowing Organic Seeds, to be delivered in spring 2026 in time for planting.

“Gardeners always want something new, and the first thing they look for is tomatoes,” said Phillip Griffiths, associate professor in the School of Integrative Plant Science Horticulture Section at Cornell AgriTech in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, who has now bred a total of nine varieties for the Galaxy Suite.

Green Nebula, which turns translucent yellow-green when ripe, is a juicy, pear-shaped grape tomato. Stargazer, a pale bright orange, shaped between a pear and a grape, has a fruity flavor. And Cosmic Pink is a meaty, disease-resistant elongated pink grape tomato with a top-ranked flavor profile.

“One of the big benefits of this group is not only do they each look different, obviously having multiple different colors, but each one has a unique ancestry of multiple different heirloom types,” Griffiths said.

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
