Let’s dream about that spring garden - we visit today with 2 farmers and seed savers from East, Tennessee who help to preserve and share heirloom seed of our region, Michael Washburn, and John Coykendall. These 2 will be presenting a program January 7th at the Blount County Public Library in Maryville, TN - and that is the feature of this episode of the Tennessee Farm Table Podcast & Broadcast.
John Coykendall has a brand new book called “Preserving Our Roots”, my journey to save seeds and stories” - and he will be conducting a book sale and signing from 5:30-7 as part 1 of this upcoming event at the BCPL. During the second part of this event - Michael Washburn will give a presentation “Planting for seed saving success”
On Fred Sauceman’s “Pot Luck Radio Segment”, he features B.J. Abraham, a graduate of the master’s degree program in storytelling at East Tennessee State University. When she returned to Johnson City recently, Fred Sauceman talked with her about one of the foods that has always been special to her family.
