Looking for an interesting addition to your gardens / farm yard this year? Consider growing / raising something from Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste:
http://www.slowfoodusa.org/ark-of-taste-in-the-usa
I found the "search by region" function and the histories of various entries particularly interesting and have since ordered a few new varieties to try. In doing so, and by saving seeds, I like to think I am doing my part in the battle against big Ag. :taped:

"The Ark of Taste is a living catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. By identifying and championing these foods we keep them in production and on our plates."
