That's today's Appalachian Wireless. The 6th annual Appalachian Seed Swap was hosted Saturday at Pike Central High School. The event was free and offered a family-friendly environment to buy, sell, or trade heirloom seeds and plants. There were over 45 vendors who offered information as well as products from the Pikeville Farmers Market. Classes were also held on a variety of topics. I came to the Seed Swap to demonstrate cooking with some heirloom vegetables. It's not the right time of year to use heirloom vegetables, it's the right time to swap seeds. So I brought some stuff out of my own garden. I'm going to Fresh Grind King White Hickory Corn and from that I'm going to make a nice pot of polenta, which is the Italian version of cornmeal mush. The event was sponsored by the Pikeville Farmers Market, Pike County Cooperative Extension Office and the City of Pikeville. There's a great diversity of collection of seeds, seed savers, trading, selling seeds. It's just a wonderful event and this is furthering the cause of genetic conservation saving seeds for the future. I tell people that there's still real food out there, that they just look for it and they can grow it themselves. Farmers and advocates alike say events like the Appalachian Seed Swap are very important and encourage many more to participate. Get involved, become part of this, it's very, very rewarding to know that you're part of seed saving, preserving history, heritage, culture, a way of life. Over 700 people attended Saturday's event.
