The Henry Doubleday trust is a good place to join in the UK if seriously interested in maintaining heirloom stocks , became involved and got access to ancient vegetables of all kinds , maintained by members seeding and sending them back in.

Some are best as breeding tools but the flavours are always wonderfull compared to whats grown commercially today.
One thing to note with old tom strains , some are prone to root virus and may need grafting onto better rootstock , starting with a clean greenhouse it should not be an issue.
Several of the really old ones need a much higher temperature to pop than usual for modern toms.
Some years ago a canny old boy i know , made thousands of pounds flogging vintage tom and pepper seeds made in a tiny greenhouse , on fleabay , quite a market and legal too.

I ordered from Burpee last year. All my plants turned out great but most people don't like Burpee, people here agree?

Weird ~ you reap what you sow ;-) But that doesn't mean you're going to eat it!
In other words, grow veggies that you and your family like to munch on. Also, unless you're prepared to put up harvest either thru canning, freezing or drying - which is a lot of work and resources -try the "SSS' approach.
"SSS" stands for Soup, Salad and Stir fry and is about taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that and making a meal out of it. So, rather than going for a big harvest of one veggie, or even trying to harvest enough for a side dish you're combining little harvests of whatever veggies are ready that day.
hope that helps!
