The 11th Annual Southern SSL Seed Swap
APRIL 26, 2008
Agrarian Connections Farm
3-8PM
The 2008 Southern Seed Legacy Seed Swap was once again a booming success. For the second year in a row, more than 120 seed savers have made the trek from all over the South to Agrarian Connections farm near Crawford , Georgia . The rain down pour at the start of the swap did nothing to dampen spirits; in fact, it just energized us.
This year, Mr. Justin Pitts came from Mississippi to exchange stories and seeds from his pineywood region. From Tennessee , came Mr. James Culpepper bearing great diversity and quantities of seeds from the mountains. And from South Carolina came our 2008 Seed Saver of the Year, Mr. Rodger Winn and his wife. Music was provided by Roughbark Candy Roaster Band and the barbeque was prepared by generous volunteers of the Department of Anthropology.
