Join Farmer Doug Jones for a primer on seed saving with an optional Advanced portion that delves even deeper.

ADVANCED PLANT BREEDING (1 pm – 3 pm) explores techniques for processing tricky seeds like lettuce, leeks, chard, and radishes and selecting for specific traits aligned with the goals of your farm or garden.
Lunch is provided by Angelina’s Kitchen in Pittsboro. This Greek inspired Farm-to-Table restaurant uses meat and vegetables from local farms. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are plentiful!
