Heirloom / Heritage Fruit & Veg

A big thank you to Kate Spirgen and A Garden Life for the interview about Heirloom Fruits & Vegetables.  The article can be read here.

Book of the Year

I am delighted to report that Heritage Fruits & Vegetables has been honoured by The Sunday Times as one of its Gardening Books of the Year.

Unfortunately, I can't link you to the page as the ST is only available online by subscription.

But many thanks to this redoubtable publication for its endorsement and good taste!  

The National Heirloom Exposition

If you want the perfect excuse to visit California in September, look no further than attending the second  annual  National Heirloom Exposition.  The dates are 11-13 September and the location is Santa Rosa.  Only wish I was attending!

And for the perfect accompaniment to the Expo don't forget to read Heirloom Fruits & Vegetables!

Some of the stories behind our Fruits & Vegetables

Just want to share a short video which tells the stories behind a handful of the edibles that feature in Heritage Fruits & Vegetables.

Please do also have a look at the Facebook group (you will have to sign into your own Facebook account) and share with us any stories, recipes, ideas, questions etc. that you have.
