I saved seed, or you can buy at the Victory seed company.It has the thickest stalk of any tomato I ever have seen. I also have Tennessee Cheese pepper. It’s a round sweet pepper about the size of a golf ball. Well bigger, but not as big as a tennis ball. Thick walled, excellent for stuffing with cheese!
Open pollinated heirloom too. So you can save seed. PM me your address for seeds if you want.
Here’s info I kept about them

is a 6-10 ounce smooth oblate purple fruit with vertical green stripes (clear skinned black with stripes), regular leaf dwarf, very good yield, very good flavor. After one of the Alaska volunteers said she saw a striped tomato late in her Alaska season, I was sent some seeds and found it the next season here in Tennessee. We did some selections and growouts, and now, it is available to the public. It is named after the place where it thrived (Tennessee) and the two people who believed in it. Enjoy this great tasting and colorful new variety. Does well in containers. Obtained from Heritage Seed Market
Tennessee Cheese Pepper - An ancient heirloom recovered from seeds donated by a couple living in Kingston,
Tennessee. Originally from Spain, where it is still used as a staple in many dishes. Fruits are perhaps the best
we’ve seen for stuffing. Round, apple or tomato-shaped, with a flattened base and a thick, delicious skin. Use it
fresh like a bell, pickled, canned, or dried for paprika! Obtained free from Zeedman on Tomatoville
