Here’s what we learned at this years National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa, California: biodiversity is not only awe inspiring, it’s vital to support as diverse a food system as we can for the health of our environment and our species. Look at the sheer number of squash varieties from all over the world! It’s incredible and I didn’t even document a fraction of the varieties on display. The same goes for tomatoes, melons, garlic, corn, the variety is staggering. We traveled to California for this three day event to learn from speakers, vendors and other gardeners and food enthusiasts who are all interested in preserving our cultural food heritage. Dani Hari, aka Food Babe was there, Ronnie Cummins, the director of Organic Consumers Association presented, the team behind US Right to Know spoke. This event draws people from all around the country, on stage were authors, chefs, activists, scientists and educators all coming together to learn tips on how to build a sustainable food system by utilizing smart farming practices, seed preservation and biodiversity. AND we learned the proper way to store and brew puerh - pu-erh - puer tea. It was fantastic.
