Here’s a great opportunity to share some seeds and tips with well-respected Berea grower, Bill Best. Thanks much to John Walker for bringing this to our attention.
Where: The farm of Bill and Irmgard Best on 1033 Pilot Knob Cemetery Road in southern Madison County near Berea
When: Saturday, October 3
This will be a gathering of seed savers from several states. There will not be a formal program but plenty of opportunities to talk with other seed savers and sell, trade, or buy heirloom seeds from one another. The event will be held in the Best’s barn with a bathroom available in a shop building nearby. Bring your own chair and table if you need one. Those who wish may tour the nearby fields of beans which will be near seed gathering status. The event will be sponsored by the Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center which Best directs. For directions check the organization’s web site: www.heirlooms.org. Look under “visit us”.
