Seed Saving and Story Telling - Remembering Wisconsin's Tomato Man

Seeds & Weeds Podcast

We've got tomatoes on our mind! Bevin shares a story of Thane Earle, famed Wisconsin seed saver most well known for introducing the world to the Amish Paste tomato!
Hear about Thane's incredible collection of seeds; more than 1000 varieties of tomatoes and hundreds of beans! We dig into the history of the classic Amish Paste tomato and meet other dedicated seed savers including Lee Stoltzfus from the Landis Valley Museum in Pennsylvania and Tom Hauch, founder of Heirloom Seeds.
Bevin was recently a guest on Wisconsin Public Radio's Morning Show with Kate Archer Kent. We've included the entire interview in this episode of the podcast! Bevin and Kate discuss Thane Earle's legacy, seed saving, the Michigan Seed Library Network and much more! Thanks to WPR for allowing us to share this conversation!
To wrap up the episode, Bevin shares some info about oregano - how to grow, harvest and use this pungent and wonderful herb.
