Peppers! Just added a handful more varieties to the Truelove Seeds website, including these four pepper varieties grown by my dear friend Jonah at Milkweed Farm (@milkweedfarmvt) in Vermont. Pictured here are Buena Mulata and Pippin’s Golden Honey (both African American heirlooms connected to artist Horace Pippin and the Roughwood Seed Collection); Shishito (Jonah’s fave, a Japanese variety from my friends at @kitazawa_seed); and Beaver Dam (an important Hungarian American heirloom on the @slowfood Ark of Taste). Jonah and I grew up in the same town (well neighboring towns - same high school) in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut, and have walked similar paths ever since. We both ended up in the California Bay Area in similar queer and farming communities. Later, we were both transformed by our experiences working back home at Tobacco Road Farm (another Truelove Seeds grower) in Lebanon, CT that uses chemical-free, no-till, natural farming methods with deep care for life of the soil. Jonah is the primary filmmaker behind Out Here: a Queer Farmer Film Project (@queerfarmer). Please support his work and order his peppers! I’ll be adding more varieties grown by him and dozens more growers over the next few weeks. See www.trueloveseeds.com for the histories of these four peppers. #trueloveseeds #seedkeeping #buenamulata #pippinsgoldenhoney #shishito #shishitopeppers #beaverdampepper #capsicumannuum #heirloompeppers
