This past week I've been staying up late studying all the fascinating 'heirloom/heritage' seeds and plants offered in the Seed Savers Exchange Catalog and reading the article, "Food Ark", in this month's National Geographic.
"Agriculture isn't just about growing food; it includes trees, and other plants that produce fiber, control wind erosion, and shade livestock"
