Searching for heirloom collards....

Collards are one of our favorite survival foods here on the farm. We tend to love brassica crops in general, but collards have a special place in our heart on those cold winter days when nothing else is growing. This year we are growing out a mass cross of many types of heirloom and F1 collards, however, much like jello, there is always room. That said I came accross this excellent ARS article about collecting Carolina heirloom/landrace collards: http://afrsweb.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/apr08/collard0408.htm?pf=1

Unfortunately those accessions don't yet seem to be available. Perhaps some of you out there have some other lesser known collard accession and we could facilitate a trade? E-mail: bishopshomegrown@gmail.com

Now Trading.....

1. Lb. of Amanda Palmer Corn
or
1. lb. of Astronomy Domine sweet corn
or
1. lb. of UK Tuxpeno corn

for any of the following:

1. lb. of floriani red flint
1. lb. of rhode island white cap flint
1. lb. painted mountain corn
1. lb. of bear island corn
1. lb of Roys Calais corn
or any quantity over one ounce (viable, at least 30 ear population selection) of any type or types of Waxy or Glutinous corn. Would also trade for flour corns with great lodging resistance, less tillering, and at least 6-7 feet tall and productive.
