Heirlooms at MHS

This year, in addition to growing potatoes, onions, garlic, butternut squash, carrots, turnips, leeks, beets, black beans, and celery, we are proud to include a few local heirloom varieties. Vermont Cranberry Pole Beans, Sweetheart Beets, Gulag 95 grex Kale, and Egyptian Walking Onions (originally from Scott Nearing!). Thanks go out to Ann Miller and Leigh Hurley for their generous donations. These heirlooms are being grown as part of the Central Vermont Community Seed Bank. Fifteen other volunteers are growing varieties of local heirloom beans, peas, and lettuce.
