Early and good taste doesn't exist IMO. Not when you compare them to later beefstakes. Dave mentions Momotaro and it is an excellent tasting tomato! One of my favorites. But I would call Momo a mid-season. Not an Early.

Unless storebought tomatoes taste better I would think the effort would be worth it.

I grew Early Pick hybrid out for my neighbor last year and they were his favorite for the season. The seeds are "on sale" at Burpee website. Here is the link.

The only consistently great tasting early tomatoes I've grown are Bloody Butcher and Moskvich.

Early Wonder (pink) is excellent this year, my first time growing it. This is the first determinate early tomato I've found with really good flavor.

The earliest full size tomato in my garden this year was Danko, a red heart that averages around 12 oz and tastes great- full robust tomato flavor. It was third to set fruit behind Matina and Black Cherry in a 30 plant garden. It is one of my top producers in a cool summer climate. A new introduction from Carolyn, seeds are available through SSE and I am saving seed.

Larry,
With taste being the only criteria on an early tomato.

1. Sungold (hybrid)- cherry
2. Large Pink Bulgarian-ripened in my garden right behind Stupice, but had much greater taste. Not as Large as I expected, but a early ripening slicer that tasted better than anything else I had ripe at the time. very good producer also!

If you want a tomato that is simply better than store bought, I dont think you could go wrong with any early that has or will be suggested. I dont have much experience with earlies but have had good success with the hybrid Bush Early Girl. Usually comes in around the 65 day mark and has yet to yield less than 40 fruit from each plant, plus it is pretty compact. Its no Cherokee Purple, but definitley better than store bought

In my Northern VA garden the early tomatoes I have tried are Early Girl, Silvery Fir Tree, Stupice, Matina, and Ultimate opener. I won't count grape/cherry types although Sugary is early and a favorite in this household. Taste is subjective but Matina comes in as the favorite early followed by Stupice. Silvery Fir Tree was too tart for me but that is personal taste. Early Girl produced well but tasted no better or worse than store bought and Ultimate opener had the same taste as Early Girl but wasn't very early. Besides being the earliest non-grape/cherry tomato Matina also lasted all season.
