Yesterday, we attended the very first National Heirloom Exposition in Santa Rosa, California. The Exposition highlighted heirloom varieties of fruits, vegetables and animals. And, some talented artists like the chef who carved this beautiful melon.
We saw lots and lots of squash.
In fact, we saw a mountain of squash!
Lots of beautiful heirloom tomatoes. No GMO's here! The blue tomato is a new variety. The others had interesting names like Berkeley tie-dye.
I think next year we will grow some of the yellow and green stripey tomatoes and purple peppers like on the bike below. Just think of the beautiful salsa it will make!
Apparently, our cuckoo maran chickens are forming their own club. Eggs are graded on their color as shown on the chart below.
More on the Exposition to come!
