Every "Where do they come from" answer I've ever seen on the internet says they came from Australia, the Ozarks in the US or that they were bred by someone.
I grew up in the Appalachians in Southwestern West Virginia and it was common knowledge that Tommy Toe tomatoes were a mutation of regular tomatoes that were eaten by hogs and excreted into the hog lot.
The passage through the hog gut apparently caused a mutation in the tomato seeds, which then grew as Tommy Toe tomatoes. These Tommy Toe plants could be found growing wild around any hog lot were tomato scraps were fed to the hogs, along with other food scraps.
And that isn't a bunch of crap. It's true. Any other folks from the country that knows this to be true?
