According to wikipedia, MW filed for bankruptcy in 2000.
When I first tried Northern Exposure tomatoes they were similar to what you describe. I kept growing them because they were the best short season tomato I have ever found. I also kept growing them because once they were canned they were every bit as good as any other canned tomato. When I learned about azomite, it turned those tomatoes into some of the most flavorful and best textured tomatoes I have ever grown.
Unfortunately about 4 or 5 years ago Burpee's discontinued them. I am continuing to have them by cloning them at the end of the season.

I contacted Burpees directly when they discontinued Northern Exposure. They did not rename it.
Definitely not the same tomato. It lists the tomatoes as being for a shorter time to maturity and only 5 to 6 oz. fruits.Tomato, Burpees Early Pick VF Hybrid
Fine flavor, gorgeous color, solid flesh! Bears fruits early; delivers bumper crops all summer.www.burpee.com
I wonder if this is the same?
