HEIRLOOM TOMATOES starter plants for sale at the CommUnity Zone at 417 Market Street, Lewisburg, PA Friday May 23rd between 1:30 and 5 pm. These scrumptious tomatoes should not be missed. Questions? call the zone at 238-1818 and ask for Cindy. Grown organically at StarWind Farm in Pennsdale, these tomato plants are a sampling of old breeds prized for their textures and flavors. Maryanna’s Peace, Paul Robeson, Cherokee Purple, Mule Team, Jubilee—we grew 47 varieties this year. Unlike commercially grown tomatoes, these are not hybrids. These are tomatoes your great grandparents might have grown, from seeds saved by generations of savvy gardeners. Why ‘savvy’? Because they knew what we latter day folks have been cultivated to forget: that the entire future is held in seed. Not to mention the ability of soils to bring that seed to fruit. With Monsanto looking to buy up the world’s entire seed supply, there is no more empowered act we can perform than to champion food sovereignty by planting a rich diversity of tasty foods from seed whose sources we trust. Save your seed and share with your friends. Swap tomatoes with your neighbor. Eat a Cherokee Purple straight from the vine at dusk after a day of sun, and your tongue will tell you what the fuss is all about.
