[KYHeirloomer]

Been lurking for a few days, then had a little trouble actually registering. But everything seems to be working now.

I'm a freelance writer, with food, cookery, and culinary travel among my special areas of interest. Been writing about those subjects for nigh on to thirty years.

I'm also very involved with the heirloom vegetable movement, and, in fact, head-up a major organization---Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy-- in that field. There is, of course, a close tie-in with cookery and preserving a region's edible heritage, so my interests run in parallel tracks.

I live in central Kentucky, with my bride of 40 years, where both of us are owned by a Lewellen setter name of Gwynn.
