However, the twentieth century witnessed a grand takeover of seed producers by multinational companies aiming to select varieties ideal for mechanical harvest, long-distance transportation, and long shelf life. With the rise of the Slow Food and farm-to-table movements in recent years, the farmers and home gardeners who have been quietly persisting in the age-old habit of conserving heirloom plants are finally receiving credit for their vital role in preserving both good taste and the world's rich food heritage. Kentucky Heirloom Seeds: Growing, Eating, Saving is an evocative exploration of the seed saver's art and the practice of sustainable agriculture. Bill Best and Dobree Adams begin by tracing the roots of the tradition in the state to a 700-year-old Native American farming village in north central Kentucky. Best shares tips for planting and growing beans and describes his family's favorite varieties for the table. Featuring interviews with many people who have worked to preserve heirloom varieties, this book vividly documents the social relevance of the rituals of sowing, cultivating, eating, saving, and sharing. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed January 31, 2017). 650 0 Seeds|zKentucky. 650 0 Seeds|xStorage|zKentucky. 650 0 Heirloom varieties (Plants)|zKentucky. 650 7 TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING|xAgriculture|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xAgriculture & Food.|2bisacsh 650 7 Heirloom varieties (Plants)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00954528 650 7 Seeds.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01111109 650 7 Seeds|xStorage.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01111160 651 7 Kentucky.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204494 700 1 Adams, Dobree,|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBest, Billy F., 1935-|tKentucky heirloom seeds.|w(DLC) 2016058497 914 ocn970659225 994 92|bGTK
