They are now called heirloom tomatoes and many sites are saving and repropagating seeds for these. Below is just one of many you could try.

Now is the time for farm grown tomatoes. Instead of getting them at the grocery store find a farmer's market. Or next year but a few tomato plants and grow them yourself. You want to look for a beefsteak tomato or heirloom tomato plants or seeds. Hydroponic or greenhouse tomatoes are not as acidic as a homegrown tomato. And more than likely that's where the tomatoes at the store are coming from. I'm getting to the point that I only eat tomatoes on sandwiches during the summer because any other time of the year they are hard, bitter and just ick. Thank goodness my mom has a garden and I have an endless summer supply of juice, packed full of flavor, and bright red or yellow tomatoes.

Grow your own beefsteak tomatoes. That's what I grew up on. Very tasty and large. As far as I know, still available.
