For those interested in obtaining seed for heirloom veggies, there will be a seed swap at the Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center (SMAC) in Berea, Kentucky, October 3, 2009.
"Seed swap" is a bit of a misnomer, as seed will be available for purchase as well as trade. Or maybe the participants will just hand you a sample to try---it's that kind of group.
Most of the participants are former members of the Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy, and rank among the most knowledgeable heirloom growers around. So even if you show up just to chat about heirlooms you're sure to benefit from attending.
If you plan on attending, PM me and I'll give you directions to SMAC.
