Kentucky Heirloom Seeds: Growing, Eating, Saving is an evocative exploration of the seed saver's art and the practice of sustainable agriculture. Bill Best and Dobree Adams begin by tracing the roots of the tradition in the state to a seven-hundred-year-old Native American farming village in north-central Kentucky. Best shares tips for planting and saving seeds for heirloom beans and tomatoes and describes his family's favorite varieties for the table. His incredible interviews with seed saversโpredominately eastern Kentuckians, who for generations have worked tirelessly to preserve and share heirloom varieties to feed their familiesโvividly document the social relevance and historical significance of the rituals of sowing, cultivating, eating, saving, and sharing.
