Variety Name: Beefy Resilient Grex, Bush Dry Bean
Crop: Bean, Phaseolus vulgaris
Crop sub type: Bush Dry Bean
Latin name: Phaseolus vulgaris
Breeder/company: Carol Deppe
Breeder Affiliation: Fertile Valley Seeds
Image URL:

Variety Description: The most intensely beefy flavored bean I haveever eaten. Also the most productive dry bean I have ever grown by a factor of 2X or more. This is a segregating population of beans that represent the F3 and F4 of crosses between ‘Gaucho’ common bean X ‘Black Mitla’ tepary bean.) (Phaseolus vulgaris X Phaseolus acutifolius). ‘Gaucho’ is a very early, very delicious gold dry bean. ‘Black Mitla’ tepary is a widely adapted bean with a powerful delicious flavor as a dry bean. Both are small beans round in cross section and about twice as long as wide. Both are easy to thresh. Teparies are unusually heat resistant and drought hardy, and are resistant or tolerant to diseases common beans succumb to. Common bean varieties tend to yield more. In 2009 I was trying to do seed increases on the pure varieties, which shouldn't have crossed since they are different species. Such crosses are “against the rules.” The beans were unruly. I got about 5% crosses from patches that were 12' apart, as evidenced by about 5% black beans in the 2010 grow-out of what I thought was (and what looked like) pure (gold-seeded) ‘Gaucho’. I couldn’t think of any cross that has more potential for producing interesting and highly resilient dry bean varieties than this cross, though, however unintended. So I hand-sorted out several thousand black seeds representing those crosses and planted them in 2011 to produce Resilient Bean Breeder F3. These turned out to be the most productive dry beans I have ever seen. When I cooked up a pot of the mixed colors, the flavor blew me away. It tastes more beefy than beef does. The plants are mostly short-vined in type, and hold their pods up off the ground so can be handled like a bush type. (Bushes are also segregating.) To harvest I clip or pull plants and roll up the tangled row-shaped mat of beans. About ¾ of the beans are black; the rest are brown, tan, gold, or speckled. Maturity is a little later than ‘Gaucho’ but still quite early. (Presumably there will be continuing segregation for plant type, maturity, drought resistance, disease resistance, and bean color and flavor.) I am selecting gently for earliness (by eliminating any plants that are not dry along with the main crop) but not selecting otherwise. Save seed from the plants that do best for you and breed your own unique varieties adapted to your own needs and conditions. Or just use as a mix, as I am. This should be particularly good material from which to select varieties for short-seasons, cool or cold or hot summer weather, drought hardiness, yield, and disease resistance. (Note: This is essentially the same material I sold last year as ‘Resilient Bean Breeder F3’. It has now earned a name and permanent place in my garden.) To cook Beefy Resilients I soak for 24 hours with adequate stirs and occasional water changes; soaking time is variable, but they all swell completely in that time. Cooking time is uniform, about 45 minutes.

Variety Description: 85 days. Sister** to Golden Gaucho. This bean is the same size and shape as Golden Gaucho, but is white with a candle-shaped mark on the hilem. It arose as one plant in a Golden Gaucho planting. As for most white beans, the flavor is mild, and best for adding nutrition and succulence to poultry or vegetable soups or other dishes where a stronger-flavored bean would overwhelm. Like Golden Gaucho, the plant type is a very determinate bush that goes from completely green (and impervious to rain) to completely dry in about ten days, fast even for a bush bean. Last year our White Candle Gaucho planting gave us more than 20 lbs./100 row feet, the highest yield I have ever had in a bush dry bean. You can plant Golden and White Candle Gaucho at different ends of the row, eat the beans where the plantings come together in the middle, and save seed from the ends. Occasional crosses don’t matter between sister varieties. Developing sister varieties is my approach to building ease of seed-saving right into the genetics of the varieties. Bred by Carol Deppe.

Latin name: Cicer arietinum
Breeder/company: Carol Deppe
Breeder Affiliation: Fertile Valley Seeds

Variety Description: Productive 2-foot tall bushes. Plant mid-March through April in Oregon. Later plantings give flowering on tiny plants, thus produce few seeds. Seedlings are freeze-hardy. Plant at or thin to 8 inches. Needs no irrigation in the maritime Northwest. Harvest when plants are dry, usually late July. I don't recommend this variety for regions where the ground is frozen into April. Selected for production under organic conditions in Willamette Valley Oregon, hotbed of aphid-spread pea diseases. Highly resistant to soil borne diseases including Fusarium and to aphid-borne diseases. Use as a regular garbanzo or as a popbean. Bred by Carol Deppe.

Breeder/company: Irwin Goldman

Variety Description: Oranje carrot is an open pollinated Danvers type for processing, derived from crosses between selections made out of Gold King and Danvers. Gold King and Danvers are open pollinated varieties that have been in common use in processing carrot production for many decades. Different versions of Gold King and Danvers were grown in the mid 1990s on several Wisconsin carrot farms, and selections were performed by farmers for superior root types over a period of two years, and five selections were identified for seed production. Seed was produced on these selections by Larry Baker of the Asgrow Seed Company in DeForest, Wisconsin, and shared with Irwin Goldman’s carrot breeding program in Wisconsin as well as with the farmers who originally grew the varieties. Pedigree selection following crosses among the selections was practiced for ten years in the Wisconsin carrot breeding program. Oranje has characteristics of both Danvers and Chantenay but is more typical of a Danvers type. It has tapered roots, wide shoulders, and is slightly longer than Sovereign. Tops are short and brighter green than Sovereign. Eating quality is similar to other dicing and processing carrot varieties, and Oranje is most suited to canning and processing. Oranje is bolt-resistant and can be planted early in the spring in Midwestern US conditions. Oranje was released through the Open Source Seed Initiative in 2014.

Different versions of Gold King and Danvers were grown in the mid 1990s on several Wisconsin carrot farms, and selections were performed by farmers for superior root types over a period of two years, and five selections were identified for seed production. Seed was produced on these selections by Larry Baker of the Asgrow Seed Company in DeForest, Wisconsin, and shared with Irwin Goldman’s carrot breeding program in Wisconsin as well as with the farmers who originally grew the varieties. Pedigree selection following crosses among the selections was practiced for ten years in the Wisconsin carrot breeding program. Sovereign has characteristics of both Danvers and Chantenay but is more typical of a Chantenay type. It has tapered roots, wide shoulders, and a slightly concave crown. Tops are short and dark green. Eating quality is similar to other dicing and processing carrot varieties, and in fact Soverign is most suited to canning and processing. Soverign is bolt-resistant and can be planted early in the spring in Midwestern US conditions. Sovereign was released through the Open Source Seed Initiative in 2014.

Variety Description: From our cross between Giant Red and Ventura (the most adaptive and resilient green celery available to the fresh market grower). With ample water and fertility, ‘Redventure’ produces dark to brilliant red stalks with emerald green leaves. Striking blanched stalks can be harvested singly for continuous supply of ideal salad celery, or fully mature plants produce a nice semi-blanched golden-pink heart. Very popular in customers’ trials, and my personal favorite. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Name: Cascade Ruby-Gold, flint corn
Crop: Corn
Crop sub type: flint corn
Latin name: Zea mays
Breeder/company: Carol Deppe
Breeder Affiliation: Fertile Valley Seeds
Image URL:
Logo:
Variety Description: 85 days. Sister** to Cascade Creamcap. A very early, productive true flint corn superb for cornbread, jonny cakes, and polenta. Plants 5 ½ feet high with 1 to 3 ears per stalk depending upon spacing and soil fertility. (In rows under field conditions--1 ear at 6”; 1-2 at 8”; 2 ears at 12”; 2-3 at wider spacing.) Ears 8-12” with 8-12 rows of big seeds on a medium-narrow cob that dries down easily. Single stalk or multiple stalks depending upon spacing and soil fertility. Good husk coverage for protection against birds and worms. Very vigorous. Does well even in downright cold summers. Cascade corns did well even on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in the unusually cold summer of 2011. Produces solid-colored ears of several colors—red, red-brown, dark red, orange-gold, maple-gold, gold, and yellow. Interior kernel color is always yellow or gold. Each color of ear produces a different flavor of cornbread and polenta. The red shades make a rich-flavored cornbread; the yellow shades make a mild-flavored cornbread. Both make great polenta and jonny cakes. Recipes for cornbread, jonny cakes, and polenta made with this corn can be found in The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-reliance in Uncertain Times. Although bred primarily to be gourmet-quality food, Cascade Ruby-Gold Flint also makes a great ornamental corn. I bred this corn to be the ultimate survival crop, the variety and crop you would choose if you could have only one variety to get you through good times and bad. Bred by crossing Roy’s Calais (aka Abenaki) with Byron flint and selecting from there. Compared with Roy’s Calais, CRG is equally early, more vigorous, more productive, has bigger ears with better husk coverage, is 8-12 row instead of only 8, has more ear colors, has gold instead of pale yellow interior color, and more of the yellow ears are gold instead of pale yellow.

Variety Description: 85 days. Sister** to Cascade Ruby-Gold. Characteristics of Cascade Creamcap are the same as for Cascade Ruby-Gold except for ear color and flavor. Cascade Creamcap has glassy white or peach-tinted white ears. This corn is the culinary and flavor equivalent of the classic Rhode Island Whitecap but produces bigger ears and more of them in spite of being a much earlier corn, and is much more widely adapted. The flavor is very mild and neutral, not like yellow corn at all. That neutral flavor is much better in situations where you want to taste just the other ingredients. I prefer CCC for eating with fine cheese or smoked salmon. (Regular yellow corn clashes with or detracts from these.) I also often prefer CCC when I use chunks of cornbread as a pasta substitute. (See recipes in The Resilient Gardener.). Makes great polenta. If you grow Cascade Ruby-Gold as an ornamental corn, a patch of Cascade Creamcap rounds out your color pallet. Bred by Carol Deppe.

Variety Name: Magic Manna, flour corn
Crop: Corn
Crop sub type: flour corn
Latin name: Zea mays
Breeder/company: Carol Deppe
Breeder Affiliation: Fertile Valley Seeds
Image URL:
Logo:
Variety Description: 85 days. Sister** to other Manna varieties. Very early flour corn I bred from Painted Mountain that shares its earliness, vigor, and resilience. Selected for flavor and cooking characteristics. For parching, gravy, bread, sweet breads, pancakes, cookies, and cake. (Not for polenta.) Also a beautiful ornamental corn. Ears 8” long, 8-12 rows, on 5’ plants. Solid colored ears of three basic colors—deep-red/red/pink, brown/tan, or white/peach. All make great cornbread. The red/pink (only) are also great parching corns. The brown/tan ears (only) make great brown gravy and savory bread (without sugar). White/peach ears (with added sugar) have a distinctive pancake flavor and are great for pancakes, cakes, and cookies. You can use Magic Manna corn flour to make angel food cake using any angel food cake recipe. Likewise, just substitute the corn for wheat flour to make pancakes, adjusting water to get the right consistency in the batter. (I add the baking powder last, after I have added just enough water to get a batter of the desired consistency. If you mix baking powder into the dry ingredients, you can’t adjust the water amount easily.) To make bread or sweet breads, use the Universal Cornbread recipe in The Resilient Gardener. Magic Manna is described in detail in The Resilient Gardener along with recipes. Bred by Carol Deppe. Seed Saving information: Magic Manna has a white endosperm and a clear aleurone and is variable for pericarp (skin) color. Yellow and black kernels don’t belong in the variety. Very pure flour corn type. If any flinty, dent, or sweet kernels appear, cull the entire ear they are on. Ear row numbers between 8 and 12 are acceptable. All “Manna” varieties are sister* varieties and can be grown side by side in the same field. Just eat the edge row where another Manna variety is adjacent and save seed from the rest. A little gene flow between the different varieties in the Manna series is fine.

Variety Description: Corn, Cassiopeia, Popcorn (100-110 days) Zea Mays A southern Oregon original in development over the past 15 years. Originating with the old Coche de Pueblo strain we crossed it with 4 other varieties. Cassiopeia combines the best traits of 5 different heirloom popcorns. Selected for early maturity, large ear size and multiple ears per plant (up to 5), it is multicolored, tall (8-9’) and beautiful. Let dry in the field and cure on the cob indoors for a few months before popping. Plants exhibit a range or red, purples and greens in their stalks, foliage, tassels, husks and silks. Will not cross with sweet or flour corns. * Please note that in order to pop successfully popcorn must have an adequately long season to mature fully. Harvest once husks are dry on the plant. If frost kills plants before maturity you can pull them from the roots, bundle and let finish under cover. Let ears dry fully after shucking (usually 2-3 months) before trying to pop. (And no it doesn’t work to try and pop it on the cob. they just burn!) SSF

Variety Description: Kale, Alive Vates Grex Brassica oleracea (55 days) A Seven Seeds Farm original variety that is the result of allowing 6 different strains of Scotch curled, Vates types of kale interbreed for 3 seasons. We began with a large population of a few thousand plants and then selected the hardiest survivors that made it through a week-long cold snap down to 5° F with no snow or mulch. What made it not only survived, but thrived, growing succulent, sweet green leaves starting with the warming days of February and jamming right along until finally flowering in late May, at which point we harvest tasty flower shoots for use in stir fry or raw in salad. Frilly blue green leaves are held high off the ground to keep winter splashback of mud off them. This is an interbreeding population so expect some variability…perfect for homesteaders and gardeners who look to their kale patch to feed them year round! For 2015 we are taking this population through a half sibling progeny row breeding project. SSF

Variety Description: Recently rechristened by our friend Elanor at Persephone Farm, ‘Dragon Tongue’ is our newest mustard recombination, melding the mellow Horned with the sweet and colorful Miike. Slow bolting with high contrast leaves of purple veining on a bright green background, and wide midribs that grow and thicken at maturity, “horning up” into a great stir-fry vegetable.

Breeder/company: Bill Whitson
Breeder Affiliation: Cultivariable
Image URL:

Variety Description: The best of our 2013 varieties. Dark red tubers fading to yellow and later greening at the ends, a pattern that reminds us of Sockeye salmon. Partially red flesh. Very high yields and large tubers. After exposure, flavor is moderately tart and brings to mind winter squash with lemon. This was the second highest yielding variety for us in 2014 after Sunset. Large plants. Moderate flowerer. Grew well and flowered in warmer summer climates than ours as well, which is promising.

Variety Name: Redshift
Crop: Oca
Crop sub type:
Latin name: Oxalis tuberosa
Breeder/company: Bill Whitson
Breeder Affiliation: Cultivariable
Image URL:
Logo:
Variety Description: The second best variety from 2013. We call this one Redshift because it comes out of the ground a light pink and darkens to a deep red/purple over a month or two of storage (or more quickly if exposed to the sun). The same transformation takes place inside and out, with the flesh darkening from mostly white to red. At harvest, flavor is sweet and tart. After exposure, flavor brings to mind potato, with almost no tartness and a slightly bitter finish. Red stems and green foliage. Very vigorous plants. Abundant flowerer. Partially red flesh. Yield on par with White and Hopin, but seems to be a little earlier. Better results were reported from some of our trial growers in warmer climates, which seems to be consistent with its Mexican Red parentage.

Variety Description: Another wonderful surprise from the GTF pepper project, these are very early bells with thick walls, densely set onto dwarf plants with short branches. At the "green" eating stage 'Little Bells' are a 'Transparent'-apple yellow, ripening through orange to a dark red at maturity. First fruit may be pointed, becoming blocky in following sets. A visitor has commented that these are reminiscent of 'Jingle Bells,' once popular, now gone. Great pepper for northern climes with short seasons. Before fall's killing frost, we clip whole plants with remaining fruits attached, trim leaves and hang in a cool place. Fruit will continue to ripen on the stem for weeks. Mature 95 days post-trans. at OSU/Corvallis, OR. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: SARANAC (NY03179FHB-12) Soft White Winter Wheat Variety Description. Saranac soft white winter wheat was developed by Mark E. Sorrells in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Cornell University. Saranac is a backcross 2, F4 selection from the following pedigree: NY87048W-7387/Caledonia// Caledonia///Caledonia. This variety was developed by using molecular markers linked to a gene for fusarium head blight resistance on chromosome 3BS. This was the first variety developed using molecular marker-assisted selection at Cornell. Saranac is awnless and has white chaff color. Under growing conditions in the northeastern U.S., plant height is about 85 cm and flowering occurs the first week of June. Saranac is also resistant to Wheat Spindle Streak Mosaic Virus and Wheat Soil Borne Mosaic Virus. It is moderately resistant to powdery mildew and has excellent soft wheat milling and baking properties. Cornell has released this variety to the Open Source Seed Initiative and small quantities of seed are available by writing to Mark Sorrells, mes12@cornell.edu.

Variety Name: Delicata Zeppelin
Crop: Winter squash, Cucurbita pepo
Crop sub type:
Latin name: Cucurbita pepo
Breeder/company: Frank Morton
Breeder Affiliation: Wild Garden Seed
Image URL:

Variety Description: Have any other fresh market growers had a dreaded case of “bitter poison Delicatas?” GTF’s padrone, John Eveland, had more than one market customer approach him in autumn of 2000 with terrifying accounts of throat clenching bitterness from a single bite of his perfect Delicata squash. The victims were so emphatic, the threat of legal action so palpable, that John began calling every Delicata source in the country to find out exactly where his seed came from, and to make sure he didn’t plant seed from the same lot again. Turns out, every dealer in the USA had seed from the same field in Colorado, and this huge lot was very slightly contaminated by the bitterness gene found in C. pepo gourds. Perhaps one bitter squash in several thousand...What to do? John had kept his own Delicata seed from 1988 thru 1994 (when he went over to buying commercial seed). We went into the freezer to find his old selection, and used this for stock seed in 2001. We found the fruits longer and more uniform, finer textured, sweeter, and significantly longer keeping than other strains. Other local farmers report the same. We’ve never had a report of a bitter squash from this line. Not one. We have concentrated on making this the best long-keeping Delicata you can find. While no pepo-type squash will ever keep like a Hubbard or other maxima-type, we believe that ‘Zeppelin’ is the only Delicata you will still be eating in mid-January. Buttery-cream colored with longitudinal green stripes, fruits weigh 1 to 2 lbs, up to 6 good fruits per plant. Skin is tender enough to eat, the flesh is thick, a rich orange color, with a higher average brix than other available strains. As we say every time we eat it, this is good Delicata. Rock ’n’ Roll Delicata, in fact.

Variety Description: 110 days. This line of Sweet Meat represents my reselection of the Oregon heirloom for all its traditional virtues—sweet thick dry flesh of unsurpassed flavor, fruits 12 – 25 lbs, huge delicious seeds, long storing, and ability to germinate in cold mud and grow vigorously in cool weather. (These characteristics have largely been lost from the current commercial lines.) Cure indoors at least one month. Oregonians traditionally open their first Sweet Meat for Thanksgiving. Gets sweeter and more delicious in storage. Stores at least 6 months. Freezes well. Cooked squash makes good fruit leather. Immature squash left at the end of the growing season make good summer squash and drying squash.

Crop sub type:
Latin name: Curcubita pepo
Breeder/company: Carol Deppe
Breeder Affiliation: Fertile Valley Seeds
Image URL:

Variety Description: 90 days. Vigorous productive delicata with intensely sweet flesh and a rich complex flavor reminiscent of Medjool dates. Flesh as thick or thicker and fruits as big or bigger than all other delicata lines. Absolutely no bitter contamination as is a problem in many delicata lines. Fruits up to 3 lbs. Tan and green striped fruits range from loaf to longer shapes, often on the same plant. I think this is the most vigorous and most productive delicata in existence as well as having the best flavor. Allow 2-3 weeks after harvest for curing indoors before eating. Keeps indoors through December. Bred by Carol Deppe and Nate France. (Note: This squash is so dry and has such a high sugar content that I recommend baking in a covered roasting pan to avoid its drying out or scorching. Put the cut deseeded but not scraped or cleaned halves upside down on the roasting-pan rack and cover the pan with the lid with the vents open. (With all squash, it's easiest to scrape away interior debris after the squash is cooked, and that debris helps keep the squash from drying out while cooking. Start oven at 400° F while the squash are coming up to temperature, then switch to 325° F to finish the squash without scorching.) I recommend eating Candystick without any additions at all, not even butter or salt. I eat them at the end of the meal, as the dessert.

Variety Description: A product of many years of dedicated breeding work to create an open-pollinated selection of the hybrid Super Chili. Parents include Hungarian Hot Wax and Hot Banana. The squat plants bear prolific upright fruit, averaging 2" long, 1/3" across and ripening from pale green to deep scarlet. Like Super Chili, they bear well in cold damp weather, hot dry weather, sandy soils and heavy clay. They have plenty of heat and the characteristic finely cut lightweight leaves of many hot peppers. Can be potted and overwintered. Now fully stable. As one customer put it, “All of my Matchboxes were extremely stable, infinitely much more so than me.”

Variety Name: Lofthouse Landrace Dry Beans

Crop sub type:
Latin name:
Breeder/company: Joseph Lofthouse
Breeder Affiliation:
Image URL:
Logo:
Variety Description: A landrace containing hundreds of varieties of dry beans. Bred to mature quickly in a cold mountain valley. Contains old heirlooms and new segregating hybrids. Growth habit tends toward bush beans or short-vines which don't climb poles. Plants with super-long or twining vines are culled. The beans mature in about 75 to 90 days. I often harvest the food crop about ten days after the plants are killed by fall frost. These have been selected for easy threshing using human scale techniques like beating with a stick or stomping with feet. I typically harvest and thresh at the same time by pulling up the dry plant and beating it against the inside of a garbage can. Cooked as a bean soup mix. Some seeds stay firm no matter how long they are cooked while others disintegrate to make a rich broth. I plant a week or two after the last expected spring frosts. This variety is a plant breeder's dream. There is so much diversity that something is likely to do well anywhere that it is grown. There are plenty of traits, colors, textures, and tastes from which to select while using this as the progenitor of new varieties. Bred by Joseph Lofthouse.

Variety Description: Lofthouse Okra is adapted to a high-altitude mountain valley with cold radiant-cooled nights and a short growing season. It was developed for subsistence level conditions without fertilizers or cides. Much of the fruit from these plants is harvested after the start of cold fall weather. The plants might look bedraggled, but they continue fruiting. Recommended culture for short-season gardens is to start seeds about 3 weeks before planting out. Soak seeds overnight. Plant 3 seeds per pot. Germinate at 90F. Cull to the most robust growing plant per pot soon after germination. They do not respond well to pricking-out and potting-up. A lot of genetic diversity has been retained in spite of the heavy selection pressure for cold tolerance. Bred by Joseph Lofthouse

Variety Description: ‘Parching Red Manna’ flour corn. 85 days. 5’ tall. A selection from ‘Magic Manna’ flour corn having about half or more red or pink ears, the rest of the ears of all the colors typical of ‘Magic Manna’. Sister variety to ‘Magic Manna’ and the other Manna varieties. (Can be grown in the same field with no isolation. Just eat the edge rows where blocks come together; a little friendly gene migration between blocks doesn’t matter.) Has a white endosperm, clear aleurone, and is variable for pericarp color. For info on how to parch parching corn see The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times. I love parched corn and a chunk of cheese for breakfast, or as travel food. Parched corn holds for more than two months at room temperature without going rancid. See listing on ‘Magic Manna’ for other uses. Seed saving info: Same as for ‘Magic Manna’ except select for red/pink ear color. Bred by Carol Deppe.

Variety Description: LOFTHOUSE LANDRACE MOSCHATA, winter squash (Cucurbita moschata). Joseph Lofthouse wanted to grow butternuts or other moschatas on his homestead on a mountain in Utah, but none would ripen in his short season nor stand up to his blazing hot summers. So he mixed every moschata variety he could find together in one field, let them all intercross, and selected rigorously for earliness year after year. The result is this very early vigorous landrace. Round pumpkins and butternuts of all shapes range from about 4 to 25 lbs. Most are good culinary quality, and just slightly sweet, so great for salads, soups, stews, and stir-fries. (Other squash are better for sweet dishes. But this squash, being not so sweet, is actually a better day in day out staple.) Huge vines. Very productive. Matures even in cold summers in the maritime Northwest. Keeps well. Cure one month before eating. (Note: With butternut shaped squash, you can cut off what you need of the neck, let the neck veins bleed for a few minutes, then spread the sap around the cut surface with your clean finger, which seals it so that the cut squash will keep weeks at room temperature. You don't need to use the whole squash at once. This means you can afford to grow the big squash that are most efficient to handle, store, and prepare.) Bred by Joseph Lofthouse. Seed saving info: isolate from other Cucurbita moschata and from Cucurbita mixta.

Variety Description: ‘Parching Starburst Manna’ flour corn. 85 days. 5’ tall. A selection from off-type ears earlier in the breeding of ‘Magic Manna’ flour corn. ‘Parching Starburst Manna’ ears have a distinctive blaze/starburst pattern on most kernels. But there are jumping genes involved, so the pattern can be unruly. About half the ears in the variety have the starburst pattern; the rest have the colors typical of ‘Magic Manna’. The flavor of starburst ears as parched corn is totally unlike that of ‘Parching Red Manna’, so provides a second flavor of parching corn. Sister variety to ‘Magic Manna’ and the other Manna varieties. (Can be grown in the same field with no isolation.) Has a white endosperm, clear aleurone, and is variable for pericarp color. For info on how to parch parching corn see The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times. I love parched corn and a chunk of cheese for breakfast, or as travel food. Parched corn holds for more than two months at room temperature without going rancid. Seed saving info: Same as for ‘Magic Manna’ except select for starburst pattern in a red color and select against other colors, except leave some white in the variety. But eliminate brown or starburst pattern in brown color, as this doesn’t taste good parched. Makes great gravy or cornbread though.) See listing on ‘Magic Manna’ for other uses. Bred by Carol Deppe.

For info on how to parch parching corn see The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times. I love parched corn and a chunk of cheese for breakfast, or as travel food. Parched corn holds for more than two months at room temperature without going rancid. Seed saving info: Same as for ‘Magic Manna’ except select for starburst pattern in a red color and select against other colors, except leave some white in the variety. But eliminate brown or starburst pattern in brown color, as this doesn’t taste good parched. Makes great gravy or cornbread though.) See listing on ‘Magic Manna’ for other uses. Bred by Carol Deppe.

Variety Description: ‘Beef-Bush Gold Resilient’ dry bean. Early dry bush bean. Very productive. I was just minding my own business not trying to be a bean breeder at all when my heirloom ‘Gaucho’ beans, supposedly P. vulgaris, crossed so cheerfully with ‘Black Mitla’ tepary, supposedly P. acutifolius, to give me material, that after a few more generations, I released as ‘Beefy Resilient Grex’ (aka ‘Beefy Resilient Breeder). But these genes were not done acting up. I was still not trying to be a bean breeder when I subsequently got several dozen unsolicited backcrosses of those crosses onto pure ‘Gaucho’. The backcrossed plants were obvious by their generally viniferous inclinations, purplish plants, and usually black or brown seed. One of these backcrossed plants produced 806 seeds, the most I have ever got from any legume. Really, what could I do? I saved the seed separately, of course. This plant, named “Resilient 800X’ became the foundation plant for the Beef-Bush series, derived by selecting for bush type and pure colors. ‘Beef-Bush Gold Resilient’ is the first of these to be released. Looks just like ‘Gaucho’, but is a sister line to ‘Beefy Resilient Grex’ instead of to ‘Gaucho’. ‘Beef-Bush Gold Resilient’ is a full flavored dry bean. It’s genetically ¾ Gaucho and ¼ ‘Black Mitla’ “tepary”. Bred by Carol Deppe.

Variety Description: A union between a hybrid swarm of North American grain corns and a synthetic composite of 6 races of South American grain corns: Tuxpeno, Coastal Tropical Flint-Dent, Southern Cateto, Cuzco, Coroico, and high altitude Andean. Harmony was developed to reunite various races of corn and to create a strong genetic base from which to conduct plant selection and breeding. Contains flint, dent, flour, and sweet corn. Adapted to temperate growing conditions. Not day-length sensitive. About 85 to 115 DTM. One of the most exciting traits offered by this corn is high concentrations of carotenes. I speculate that this improves the nutritional content of the corn: Especially for poultry.

Variety Description: Lofthouse Sunroots (Helianthus tuberosus) originated as a cross between an improved population of feral sunroots collected in Kansas, and a commercial clone. They have been selected for vigor, productivity, and good agronomic and culinary properties like ease of digging and cleaning. Because they are a genetically diverse population they set seeds prolifically. Collecting lots of seeds may require bagging the blossoms soon after petal drop to prevent bird predation of the seeds. This variety was developed for subsistence level growing without the use of fertilizers or cides. They are winter hardy in a cold mountain valley in USDA zone 4b. Sunroots are very susceptible to dehydration, so roots are best stored in soil, or refrigerated in plastic. Bred by Joseph Lofthouse

Variety Description: HX-9 tomato is the star-child of my attempts to breed a population of promiscuously pollinating tomatoes. The anther cone is open and the anthers are loosely attached to each other. The stigma is exposed. It has a bold floral display, and the flowers are open to the sky and not buried in foliage. It is determinate. The extra-large fruits are bi-colored: red and yellow. Taste is great. One of the parents of the cross from which HX-9 was derived is Jagodka, a Russian variety that took the grand prize a few years ago in my trials of cold tolerant tomatoes. Jagodka is my primary market tomato. HX-9 takes after Jagodka by being early and highly productive. HX-9 is highly susceptible to cross pollination. Promiscuous pollination is what makes this variety unique. Closed flowers are a dominant trait. Therefore any offspring that have closed flowers are off-type and should be culled.

Variety Description: DXX-M tomato clade is a family of short-season determinate tomatoes that are descended from a cross between DX52-12 and Jagodka. DX52-12 is an old heirloom variety that was developed to supply the Campbell's soup company in the cold mountain valleys of northern Utah. It is descended from Moscow tomatoes (not from Russia) which were the most widely planted tomatoes in the area before being replaced by DX52-12. Jagodka is a super-early highly-productive red saladette tomato from Russia. It took the grand prize in a cold tolerance trial conducted in northern Utah. The union between these two great varieties resulted in offspring that are earlier than DX52-12 and that have larger fruits than Jagodka. Taste is delicious. Seed Saving: To maintain the genetic diversity of the variety it is recommended to save seeds from many different plants. Bred by Joseph Lofthouse

Variety Description: Dazzling Blue Lacinato began as “Lacinato Rainbow” off-types from Wild Garden Seed backcrossed to regular WGS Lacinato. This kale has all the flavor of Lacinato, with a bright pink midrib for style. Leaves are waxy blue-green with mild savoy and down-turned margins. Upright, long, full-strap leaves make good bunches. This selection went through the record freeze of 2013-14, showing better freeze resistance than Lacinato. This is Hank Keogh’s first breeding project. Thanks to Frank Morton for his expert advice and guidance. Let Dazzling Blue Lacinato add a pop of color to your winter greens market. This B. Oleracea kale is fundamentally “Lacinato Rainbow” backcrossed to regular “Lacinato” kale. Lacinato kale needed a vigor boost, and I thought a pink midrib would be beautiful. I also have an eye for a certain shade of blue leaf and a certain degree of curled-rumple-savoy-ness. I originally made the cross in 2010-11 with two smooth leafed individuals out of Lacinato Rainbow and three lacinato kales with blue leaves and a whisper of pink midrib. Both Lacinato Rainbow and Lacinato Kale were and are commercial crops for Wild Garden Seed. Lacinato Rainbow is population resulting from a cross between lacinato and Redbor kale. It is a very diverse variety, mostly with leaves curling up like Redbor. The two parent individuals I selected were unique for their downturned leaves, more like a lacinato leaf. Dazzling Blue Lacinato has a deep blue-green waxy leaf with a dazzling bright pink midrib. It has downturned, curled-under strap leaves with a gentle savoy. I have been selecting primarily for these leaf color and shape traits, but along the way I have also selected for vigor, freeze tolerance (in the winter of 2013), and long strap leaves. There is still some variability in the population for midrib color and leaf shape. The initial cross included dark purple flat leaves with pink stems, green versions of Lacinato Rainbow, and plenty of regular lacinato.

Variety Description: We ventured into our first attempt at lettuce breeding with this ultra red leaf gem. A little opportunistic to start, we discovered a few off types in one lot of Revolution lettuce. Over a few years we have stabilized this off type, now liking it more than its parent. Taller & less frilly than Revolution, Red Evolution has the same deep red color. Its dark red anthocyanin based pigment & its ancestry give it a great level of disease resistance. Unlike other lettuces, it doesn't seem to get any mold or mildew. We love it for salad mix because its color offers rich contrast to the other greens in a mix.

Variety Name: New Mama Super Sweet Corn
Crop: Corn
Crop sub type: Sweet Corn
Latin name: Zea mays
Breeder/company: Andrew Still
Breeder Affiliation: Adaptive Seeds and the Seed Ambassadors Project
Image URL:
Logo:
Variety Description: One of the only open pollinated super sweet (Sh2) corns. Medium sized ears have yellow, truly super sweet kernels and hold their flavor once picked. Still a little variable in maturity and in color, with some pale yellow kernels, but we think this may be necessary to maintain vigor as corn does poorly with inbreeding. Selected from crosses we made between a Tim Peters' super sweet called “White Sugar” and an early release yellow super sweet from Friedmann Ebiner of Sativa Rheinau Switzerland. Because I borrowed so much from Tim and Friederman, who themselves borrowed so much from the corn breeders before them, I almost called this one “Borrowed Tune.” That name didn't quite ring right, & with so many of our friends being new mamas right now I couldn't resist. Instead, this Sh2's for the mamas! Please tell us what you think.

Variety Description: A diverse genepool mix of 17 oleracea kales & their crosses. Nick Routledge trialed the 17 kales collected on our 2007 Seed Ambassadors trip & this is what happened the next spring. This grex contains a lot of very interesting diversity of kales not available in the US, not just curly green kales. A combination of Hoj Amager Grunkohl (DK), Madeley (UK), Westphalian (UK), Westland Winter (UK), Westländer Winter (DE), Asparagus Kale (IR, UK), 1,000 Headed kale (DE), Roter Krauskohl (DE), Altmarker Braun (DE), Baltic Red (SE), Blonde Butter of Jalhay (BE), Butterkohl (DE), Nicki's Cut'N'Come Again (IE), Shetland (UK), Hellerbutter Kohl (CH), Cavolo Nero di Toscana (IT), & Ostfriesische Palm (CH). The resulting mix contains the most incredibly vigorous kales we have ever seen – some plants grew 4' tall in 8” of potting soil on top of some serious hardpan topsoil. If you like a mix of diverse kales in your life, this is it.

Variety Name: Quinault

Crop sub type:
Latin name: Smallanthus sonchifolius
Breeder/company: Bill Whitson
Breeder Affiliation: Cultivariable
Image URL:
Logo:
Variety Description: Quinault is the first new variety from our yacon breeding project. It may be the first new yacon variety grown in the United States. We think that this variety will be of great interest to people who are interested in yacon breeding, because it has superior seed set and pollen production. We collected almost four seeds per flower from this variety from 2015, which is quite a bit better than most varieties. Other than its value for breeding, it appears to be a top performer. We don’t have years of experience with it yet, so there may be surprises in store, but the yield was very good and the taste of the tubers was on the sweet side after solarization. Mature tubers come out of the ground a light/red purple and darken up substantially when exposed to sunlight. Medium-tall, red tuber, red stem. Early flowering at about 155 days.

Variety Description: Wonderful, early sweet red pepper that is our latest effort at dehybridizing “a popular hybrid.” Elongated, tapered bell-shape similar to Hungarian sweet peppers. Starts out as a lime green color with good flavor. Now in its F4 & surprisingly uniform, we have narrowed it down to two fruit types, a blunt tip & a pointy tip. Both have excellent flavor, productivity & are definitely siblings. We hope to continue to improve the selection in future years, although it is pretty far along in the process already. Gypsy Queens are superb short season market peppers.

Variety Description: Aprovecho Hardy turnip is our attempt at a hardy & delicious turnip bred specifically for Oregon winters. Salvaged from the less than 5% of the surviving turnips from a population of Dr. Alan Kapuler's Six Root Grex Turnip. The rest of the population died after a hard 8°F frost at Aprovecho Research Center in Cottage Grove, Oregon. The diversity of root types has been reduced but the result is strong hardy turnips with a much higher percentage of quality round roots. The colors vary from purple tops to white & green topped roots. My favorites in the population are the bright white ones with combined purple & green colors.

Variety Description: One of our two new ulluco introductions this year. The varieties Humptulips and Moclips were grown from seed and may be the first seed-grown varieties offered for sale anywhere since the Incas were breeding the crop. Ulluco seed has long been regarded as nearly impossible to produce, but we’ve been doing it for several years now and we’re looking forward to producing improved varieties for North America. You’re on the cutting edge with these varieties; they were produced in 2015. A very small amount is available and they’re priced at a premium because of that. If you are willing to wait until next year, they will come down to our standard ulluco pricing. Moclips was our first seedling and in what seems to be a pretty big coincidence, the best of the bunch. The plants were large and weathered the drought well. They also set quite a bit of true seed. Tubers came out spotted and solid from the same plant. This is not unusual for spotted varieties, but the large number of solids makes us think that these tubers may segregate into plants that produce only solids or mostly spotted tubers. If you buy them, you’ll have the answer about the same time that we will.

Variety Description: As market growers, we knew that winter squash storability & flavor improve with ripeness, so we were always on the lookout for an early butternut variety that matured well here in Oregon. Some hybrids come close, but most OPs require a longer growing season than we can provide. In 2005, we started growing every early butternut variety we could find, including Nutterbutter, Hunter F1, Butterbush, Early Butternut F1, Butterfly F1, & more. We allowed them to cross freely & have been selecting for early ripening & 2-4 lb fruit with a classic butternut shape, although there is the occasional 6+ lb fruit depending on growing conditions. Because there were so many parents in this genepool, expect some variation, all within a classic butternut theme. Why should every butternut be identical anyway?

Variety Description: Gales Meadow Romany - We are dehybridizing the popular Gypsy pepper. In the 4th generation, there was still some variation in shape and color; we are selecting for the appearance shown in the photo. The flavor is excellent, both in the early “white” stage and as a salmon–red orange ripe pepper. Our Hungarian customers at the Hollywood Farmers Market love it as a white pepper. It is not quite as early or prolific as the Gypsy, but adequate on both counts. It keeps producing throughout the season. We pickled some white and light green peppers, as well as many riper ones, on November 4th, the day before our first frost this year.

Variety Description: (40-50 days) - This is a farm bred original created by combining the best traits of a variety of savoy leaved spinaches into an open pollinated, interbreeding population (aka “Grex”). Leaf color is very dark green with a wrinkled savoyed shape that really adds loft to raw salads. In our trials last summer this variety bolted a good 2 weeks later than a similar variety grown in the cooler summer climate of Washington. A wonderful glimpse into the benefits of imparting bioregional adaptation through on-farm selection and breeding.

Variety Description: Returns! The return of an old theme, first composed by GTF padrone John Eveland in 1998, when he selected his favorite red types from a patch of ‘Wild Garden’ kale, then let them flower together. The results were spectacular for the depth of color, the wide range of leaf shapes, and the degrees of dissection that the leaves attained. Some of these are truly ‘moss curled’ kales of the sorts found in the 1885 classic seed catalog, The Vegetable Garden by MM. Vilmorin-Andrieux. They can make great bite-sized kale leaflets for salad mix.

Variety Description: Returns! The return of an old theme, first composed by GTF padrone John Eveland in 1998, when he selected his favorite red types from a patch of ‘Wild Garden’ kale, then let them flower together. The results were spectacular for the depth of color, the wide range of leaf shapes, and the degrees of dissection that the leaves attained. Some of these are truly ‘moss curled’ kales of the sorts found in the 1885 classic seed catalog, The Vegetable Garden by MM. Vilmorin-Andrieux. They can make great bite-sized kale leaflets for salad mix.

Variety Description: This came to me unsolicited from a fellow breeder years ago--a beautiful F6 population of winter leeks, ready for selection into varieties with distinct traits. I'm passing this opportunity on to others in this F7 population, a wondrous blend of leek colors, leaf widths, shaft lengths and diameters. This is a real gift to the organic community at a time when OP leeks are disappearing and their quality is in decline. Breeding populations like this can help organic farmers quickly select new varieties suited to their needs and location. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: A golden variation on the 'Stocky Red' theme. Broad, smooth, thick-walled, and sweet. These make 6" fruits in early sets, and can yield large numbers of smaller fruits in late sets. Perfect for roasting over coals. The skins roast evenly thanks to the smooth, uncrumpled surface of the fruit, which allows the cuticle to slip off cleanly. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: 76 days- My own development, created while I lived in northern Idaho, a location which has cool 35 to 45 degree nights and short seasons. The fruit is dark green with very faint stripes, flesh is an orange red similar to Sugar Baby. Continuously, it is my earliest type in over 100 varieties grown each season. Fruit averages 6 to 10 pounds. Our son, Cory, and family moved to a new home in mid-July, 2013 and he wanted to plant a garden. He stuck in some Blacktail Mountain seed on July 18 and was rewarded in late September with an abundance of nice sized ripe melons.

Variety Description: 80 days - I am very fond of the flavor and yields of the Italian type peppers. The only problem is with the sandy soil we have and with all of the wrinkly skin they have, they tend to collect particles of sand from the soil. This is especially in years when we have to irrigate by sprinkler. It appears to splash the sand up into the plant more than rain and this means a lot of washing or you get a gritty pepper. I have attempted to keep the yield and flavor and selected for a more smooth skinned variety. A 2014 Sand Hill Preservation Center introduction.

Variety Description: Released first by our Fedco friends in 2005. We’ve been working toward this blend of ‘Flashy Troutback’ and ‘Emerald Oak’ ever since I laid eyes on the ingredients, circa 1999. This is the first of several variations on the “speckled oakleaf” theme that are in the works. This one combines flashy red splashes with emerald green oak leaves in a compact head. Texture is crisp and buttery. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: This is another take on the ‘Morton’s Secret Mix’ concept—an early release of unnamed breeding material related to upcoming varieties. The ‘Unsung Crispy’ include variations on ‘Red Ball Jets,’ a tight crisp coppertone minihead underlain with red splashes, a dense bright green toothy-edged and wavy-margined crisphead, and a bigger than average Merlox green heading type. All of these have disease resistance derived from ‘Merlot,’ combined with the fancy-leaf crisphead qualities of ‘Reine d’ Glaces,’ and tastes from various romaines. A lot of crunchy critters in this one. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: 75 days - When I first moved to Iowa I struggled to raise melons as the Cucumber Beetles seemed to spread disease. I’d have loads of young fruit only to see it all perish. My collection of over 100 varieties was in trouble. While I was learning how to deal with these new conditions, I got in the habit of saving seed from the tastiest fruits that survived. The past few years I’ve stabilized the selection to this melon. It handles our sand well, can be planted as late as July 10 and still make tasty melons in September. Fruits are smallish - 2 lbs. at best, somewhat netted and orange flesh. I can not certify it to be wilt tolerant, but it sure handles it well here. Introduced by Sand Hill Preservation Center in 2011.

Variety Description: This cutting celery comes from a cross between our ‘Redventure’ and a fancy cut-leaf celery called ‘Parcel.’ Stems are long and slim, red with dark green leaves that are puckered and dissected in a parsley-like manner. Used like any cutting celery in cooking, but especially nice as a salad addition, a stirring straw for Bloody Marys, or atop fried eggs. Spring transplant 8–12” apart for repeat harvest into winter. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Name: Old Growth Palm

Latin name: Brassica oleracea
Breeder/company: Frank Morton
Breeder Affiliation: Wild Garden Seed

Variety Description: Growers in the west, where winter slowly becomes spring and spring lasts until after July 4th, commonly winter-sow ‘Lacinato’ kale for earliest transplanting. Spring kale is a welcome addition to first CSA boxes and markets, but by summer, the kale appeal has worn off, and harvest ceases. Some growers till the crop in. Others, like my friend Josh Volk, leave it standing until the cool of autumn returns, then revive the standing (giant) plants with weeding, water, fertility, and attention to aphids. By time of first frost, the kale has returned to vigorous growth, and harvest resumes. ‘Old Growth Palm’ kale is selected with this production plan in mind, to recreate a “black palm kale” that doesn’t flower during summer, die of heat stress, or succumb to aphids, as well as having strong unforked stems, good color, and Tuscan taste. The result looks a lot like ‘Palm-tree Cabbage’ and ‘Cavolo Nero’ described and illustrated in The Vegetable Garden (1885).

Variety Description: This new release is actually an old denizen of our own evolving Wild Garden. It has been part of the surviving kale tribe since the deepest freezes of the mid 90s. When we grew it at GTF last winter, the vigor, health, and performance in a commercial setting was impressive to everyone, including Rodrigo, who harvested a treasure of “kale raab” from it during the hungry gap, before spring has arrived and markets are spare. He commented on the caliper of the tender stems, their weight, and sweetness. Leaves grey-green with purple-red veins and stems. Sow mid-July through late August. First leaves are flat, becoming more rumpled, edged with ruffled margins, and extra heavy by time bunching begins. In climates with winters above 5-10°F, most plants will live to produce red napini (aka “kale raab”) from late March through April—a welcome finale to production here. Super quality seed!

Variety Description: A dark red spring lettuce with tapered cos-like leaves forming loose heads at maturity. Very buttery texture and thick leaves. Good reports from Texas to the Olympic Peninsula. This is not a pure-line variety, as evidenced by its black and white seeds, but a multiline “landrace” of similar looking (but genetically distinct) sub-lines. Most of our ancestors’ staple crops, their legumes and grains, were also multi-lines. The genetic diversity of these farmer-varieties was the original crop insurance against the vagaries of nature.

Variety Description: This is a special gene pool created from lettuces that were identified in the GTF Lettuce Disease Trials of 2002-2004. The three year project, also called the "Hell's Half-Acre lettuce trial," identified the most disease resistant lettuces out of 40 commercial, heirloom, and farm-original varieties. Crossing these disease resistant types (inc. ‘Merlot’ and ‘Reine d’ Glaces’) with my best tasting varieties created this “Merlox genepool,” a unique opportunity for selection and recombination of some excellent traits. It is freely offered here with the stipulation that anything derived from it must also remain freely available for others to use. No whole plants, seeds, or traits derived from this breeder’s mix may be patented or protected from the use of others in any way. They may expressly be used by others for crop production, seed increase, and breeding purposes, though they may not be used in any way that restricts their use by others, now or in the future.

Variety Description: Sounds like an old rock band, but we’re talking turnips here, and their greens. When we were young farmers there were these hot pink, somewhat flattened pickling turnips from Japan called Scarlet Ohno. You could buy them in 1985. They had amazing glossy smooth hairless leaves. Often the pigment came up the stem or leaf blade as scarlet red. Not purple. We looked for them a few years ago, but nothing by that name was available. After growing out a dozen possible synonyms we found it, or at least some of it, with a few novel traits thrown in. After roguing, we have this Revival version to offer. Nice bright scarlet-skinned roots, round to flattened, with those beautiful smooth strap-leaf greens, some scarlet. A few brilliant purple monsters. For those who appreciate diversity within a theme.

Variety Description: Shhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone, but this mix contains new stuff that may soon be named and released. We can’t tell you what it is exactly, but there are new lines (with variations) in here. Reds, greens, brights, darks, splashes, blushes, crisps, butters, leafs, heads, and tongues. Soon to be famous? You might be the first to find out. This year's mix is an extremely diverse collection of leaf shapes and textures--highly frilled Lollo types in all colors, intensely purple-red or camo-speckled deer tongue shapes, hyper-red oakleafs and romaines, Manoan Leopards, and the many Falstaff variations. Incredible mix for salad, or huge diversity of head shapes.

Variety Description: 51 days - Early and productive. Plants average about 4 feet tall and produce nice 5 inch ears that are well filled and tasty for an early corn. Kernel color is yellow with some white. When properly weeded and cared for this is a good choice for early fresh sweet corn. In 2002 the crop was planted June 17 and was ready to eat on August 1 (45 days). I would have never believed it had I not written it down! In our “cold” summer of 2009, it was planted on June 29 and ready to eat on August 17 (49 days). Not bad for an otherwise less than fantastic season. A Sand Hill Preservation Center introduction in 1999. Be prepared because this variety sells out quickly.

Variety Description: 100 days - I developed this variety back in the early 1980’s as a part of my senior project in college. My goal then and now is to have 100% ears that have red ears with red-brown kernels. I could go into the long genetic reason for why you will get some ears that are not red with red-brown kernels, but simply expect 75%+ of the red/red-brown kernels. The remainder will be a colorful ornamental corn. Plants grow 6 to 7 feet tall.

Variety Description: 100 days - I developed this variety back in the early 1980’s as a part of my senior project in college. My goal then and now is to have 100% ears that have red ears with red-brown kernels. I could go into the long genetic reason for why you will get some ears that are not red with red-brown kernels, but simply expect 75%+ of the red/red-brown kernels. The remainder will be a colorful ornamental corn. Plants grow 6 to 7 feet tall.

Variety Description: 125 days - A selection of ours to provide more ears with a predominance of shades of pink and purple kernels. Selected for small, tiny kernels on ears that have fairly tight husks. Occasional red to purple husks can be found. The majority of the kernels will be shades of pink and purple with occasional other colors - especially shades of red. Beautiful and also very tasty when popped. Pops small, but has an exceptional nutty flavor. Plants get 7 feet tall and will usually have 2 to 3 ears per stalk.

Variety Description: When I was a young kid, everyone wore Red Ball Jets on their feet. Summer started with a new pair, and ended with your toes poking through the canvas. The Red Ball in the center of every sole could make you “run faster and jump higher”—perhaps the first claim for athletic enhancement via shoes. Looking down on a maturing bed of this new intensely red lettuce, its round, savoyed, ruffle-edged leaves lifting upward around red crystal-crisp ballheads, was enough to make me think of firing rocket engines...in fact, I thought of Red Ball Jets. No tip-burn, no downy mildew, no bolting—just amazing. New selection in 2015. Farm Original Variety!

The leaves are very dark purple, small and round with the characteristic hyper-crisped frilly margins of the finest Lollo lettuces, but it seems impervious to downy mildew. 125 years ago, these supercurled types were referred to in Europe as “California curled lettuce.” I think of them as Italian lettuces.

Variety Description: Somewhat between a 'Jester' and a 'Joker', a jovial icy red-splattered ball becomes a slightly tallish tight crisphead at maturity. Margins are largely toothed and crisped. Like the other fools, this one does well in summer and autumn for us. It stood out as The Best Performer in our 2012 Fall trials, the last standing and the least bolting. Taste!

Variety Description: 110 days - An ornamental popcorn of my own selection which also has very good flavor. I’ve always been fascinated by the genetics of brown kernel color in corn and how many ways the brown gene can express itself. This was named because I think of browns and related shades at Thanksgiving time. To get the full complement of brown shades, not all ears will turn out brown. The remainder will be very colorful nonetheless. Plants are 7 feet tall, 2 ears per stalk, and the ears are 6 to 7 inches long. Sand Hill Preservation Center introduction in 2005.

Variety Description: Loxton Lad is a rugose regular leaf dwarf producing large smooth oblate orange fruit in the 9 - 18oz range, meaty and juicy. Support is necessary to prevent branches breaking from the weight of fruit. Plants have sturdy stems, robust rugose foliage, and reach about a metre+/ 3-4 ft by end of season. Loxton Lad appeared in an early generation of Loxton Lass, being larger with similar taste but less sweetness than Loxton Lass. And as with Loxton Lass, the name Loxton is derived from the town of that name in the riverland citrus growing region of South Australia.

Variety Description: When oaks are crossed by romaines, they can develop some big and upright attitudes, and very fancy ears. This genetic family has terrific traits from ‘Crisp Mint’ romaine, including a slightly savoyed texture, crunchy midribs, clear green color and sweet taste. Some of these have long terminal leaf lobes that remind me of elf ears. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: This is probably what Joelene was really requesting when she asked if I could recreate her favorite hybrid red Italian as an OP variety. These appeared from my “early red” breeding lines this year, and I was as surprised as anyone with its straight smooth shape, like a longer “red roaster” type, including the nicely domed crown, and few seeds. A chef's dream. Easy to clean, roast and peel, a joy to slice, little to trim or waste, uniform wall thickness, sweet taste. Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: Shhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone, but this mix contains new stuff that may soon be named and released. We can’t tell you what it is exactly, but there are new lines (with variations) in here. Reds, greens, brights, darks, splashes, blushes, crisps, butters, leafs, heads, and tongues. Soon to be famous? You might be the first to find out. This year’s secret stuff has some lotus-like lettuce that look like bloodstone, or just bloody red. There are crisphead cousins of Falstaff, a pool of green gems with Hawaiian genes, and an unlikely combination of island hearts and Deer Tongue in camo dress. If this is hard to comprehend, that’s because it’s a secret! Note: This is a new mix for 2016. You can still purchase the classic Morton's Secret Lettuce Mix from previous years (original mix, 2014 Mix, 2015 Mix) Farm Original Variety!

Variety Description: Sturt Desert Pea is a regular leaf dwarf that produces abundant yields of 4-8oz tasty oblate shiny red fruit. Plants reach around a metre+ / 3-4 ft by end of season. The name originates from a brilliant shiny red and black flowered leguminous plant native to the desert regions of Australia where British explorer Charles Sturt searched for an inland sea during Australia's early days of European settlement.

Variety Description: A few years ago, about 5% of our Jimmy Nardello peppers were larger, more vigorous plants with sweet yellow rather than red peppers. We saved the seed; the next year most of the offspring of the Yellow Nardello were similar to the parent, but some were moderately spicy (see Hot Jimmy below). Yellow Nardello is not quite as sweet as the original, but has a similar lovely flavor. We like seeing the two of them together. 2015 was the 4th generation, and we are still seeing some hot rogues, which are distinctive in shape and color.

Variety Description: This bean was given to me by my neighbor, Torchy Oberg. Torchy called it Frye’s Bean, a name from her first husband’s family. It came with a story about a great-uncle finding the original beans in the crop of a goose he shot. The story and the beautiful golden brown color inspired the name I have given it. Frye’s Golden Goose is similar to Swedish Brown Bean, as described by Roger Yepsin in A Celebration of Heirloom Vegetable Varieties, but it is a pole bean not a bush bean. It is a pronounced cut short bean, with three – six beans per pod. The flavor is excellent, both in the shelling stage and the dry stage. The first year it was planted at Gales Meadow Farm, it displayed evidence of lots of crosses, so I cleaned it up over the course of several seasons.

Variety Description: Joni’s Taxi is a snow pea with large, yellow, low fibre pods. This variety was derived from a cross between a purple flowered snowpea, probably Yakumo, with the yellow podded snow pea distributed in Australia as Golden Podded. In addition to the obtaining the desired pod characteristics, a happy coincidence was the emergence of long pedicels that hold the pods out from the plant to facilitate harvest.

Variety Description: BRED & INTRODUCED BY EFN. When we arrived in Elmer, NJ, in early 2014, camping out in a field to start the EFN flagship farm, the owners, Sandy and Chris Deitrich, told us we should start picking and eating the "wild broccoli raab" that abounds on the farm. It took a day or two for us to find it, but then we realized it was all around us. We were soon hooked, eating it daily raw or cooked (it's especially good in scrambled eggs or sauteed in olive oil with some garlic) for as long as it was available. Amazingly, this overwintering biennal produces its deliciously bittersweet flower spikes so early in Spring, it's really still Winter. Six or eight weeks before the first asparagus makes an appearance, and weeks before overwintering kale or other turnips or any other vegetable start producing, this incredibly productive broccoli raab is already a staple. We've seen it flowering through snow on more than one occasion. And even when it's not sending up its cut-and-come-again flower spikes in the Spring, the leaves make great cooking greens. Here in New Jersey, we plant it in mid-Summer, eat its big leaves in the Fall, then let it rest after the freeze -- completely unprotected, regardless of Winter's worst polar vortex -- and then gorge all Spring. We assume it's a feral leaf turnip escaped from some erstwhile Italian farmers in the neighborhood, because the plant looks a lot like 'Seven Top', though it is hardier, earlier, and more productive. The plants are also far less uniform, but their diversity presumably makes them much more resilient. Similar plants grow throughout this area as weeds, but thanks to the Deitrich's wise stewardship of their land -- eschewing herbicides and leaving lots of land unmowed -- along with their love for this plant, a particularly strong population thrives in their corner of southern New Jersey. For some thirty years they've informally selected for the strongest plants simply by picking mainly from them (which encourages more flower spikes to develop and thus leads to much heavier seed production). EFN organizers Nate Kleinman & Dusty Hinz have continued where Chris & Sandy left off, selecting seeds from only the most productive, earliest plants in an effort to re-domesticate it with all of its best wild properties intact. That process will continue, and may yet yield new varieties (like a purple one) but for now we're happy to offer you this gem. Bred by Nate Kleinman, Dusty Hinz, and Sandy & Chris Deitrich.

Variety Description: Jupiter Snow Pea, bred in Bendigo, Australia, is a deep purple-podded true snow pea. Jupiter produces medium sized pods, held high on 1 -1.5 metre plants with resistance to powdery mildew. The plants require trellising. Pods are borne in pairs, and are sweet, low in fibre., with strings along the pod seams. The pod colour fades upon cooking in water. Parents were an unknown snow pea variety and a commercially available purple-podded pea 'Purple Podded'. Early generations of the cross exhibited all combinations of pod colour from green to deep purple, high, medium and low fibre pods, no, medium and high resistance to powdery mildew, and a range of plant heights. Selection occurred over 6 generations and focused on purple pods, good pod flavour and low fibre, powdery mildew resistance, and high seed emergence. The variety exhibits a small amount of residual plant to plant genetic variation. Occasional plants produce pods with purple blushes rather than deep purple colouration. Plants may also express modest variation in height. Growers should consider practicing further selection to isolate lines suited to their conditions and requirements.

Variety Description: Cucurbita moschata (Twin Oaks Seed Farm, Certified Organic by QCS) Downy Mildew resistant butternut made from a cross between Waltham butternut and Seminole pumpkin. In Twin Oaks’ 2014 trial the F3 generation of this cross had DM resistance comparable to Seminole, yields about 60% higher than Waltham and 20% higher than Seminole. In 2015 Edmund trained and evaluated each of 70 F4 generation plants separately. This seed is from the best ten plants. He selected for productivity, Downy Mildew resistant foliage, good flavor, high dry matter and brix readings, and butternut shape. This is not a finished project – there will still be variation – but you can expect good yields of excellent quality squash with mostly butternut shapes on plants that resist Downy Mildew much better than Waltham or other standard butternut varieties, and that yield much better in conditions of high DM pressure. Also resists Black Rot (which shows up on butternut as grey scabs) and keeps well. 110 days.

Variety Description: The goal of breeding the Wisconsin Open Source Composite populations was to take commercially available cultivars that had freedom to operate for breeding and create diverse carrot populations based on market class and root color. These composite populations are meant to represent some of the diversity present in commercially available carrot germplasm that is available to use in breeding. The WI-OSC Chantenay population is a diverse breeding population with Chantenay type roots. The parents of this population were: Chantenay Royal, Red- Cored Chantenay, Caracas, Short and Sweet, Sweet Treat, and Big Top. Roots are characterized by large shoulders with a wide diameter at the crown. Roots are tapered, short and have a blunt tip. Tops are very vigorous. This population has been developed for two generations under organic growing conditions.

These composite populations are meant to represent some of the diversity present in commercially available carrot germplasm that is available to use in breeding. The WI-OSC Red population is characterized by the accumulation of lycopene in the roots, creating an intense red or rose color. Roots are generally ‘Danvers’ or ‘Nantes’ in shape, so there is variation in the definition of the root’s shoulders, as well as the amount of taper in the roots and tips. Some roots are quite tapered while others are more cylindrical. There is variation in smoothness of roots. Some roots are quite smooth but others have very large lenticels or are prone to branching. Additionally, seed production has proved difficult with this population with many roots rotting during storage or producing unviable seed. Parental material included: Atomic Red, Nutri-Red, and Red Samurai.This population has been developed for two generations under organic growing conditions.
