* Val and Dan McMurray (B.C MC D), who act … * Val and Dan McMurray (B.C MC D), who actively exchanged seeds with European growers, asked Rita De Clereq in Belgium to try and get hold of some of the local Belgium "heirlooms" or family varieties when they started trading with her. She found four varieties which were later named [[Belgian Farmer's Beefsteak]], [[Belgian Pounder]], [[Belgian Heart]], and [[Rita's Black]], as the original names have long since been forgotten. These tomatoes are ones that they grow for themselves, not for market. they grow for themselves, not for market.
