AHSC Conference

**B*@aol.com**

Well boys and girls, it's time to start making travel plans.

The Appalachian Heirloom Seed Conservancy's annual Fall Conference is  slated 
for October 6-8 in Berea, Kentucky. In just a few short years this have  
become one of the pre-eminent heirlooms-oriented events.

One highlight is the formal seed swaps held each day. Last year something  
like 140 heirloom tomato varieties changed hands; along with beans, greens,  
corn, okra, you name it. 

There's an exciting line-up of speakers to fill the days, on topics ranging  
from heirloom corns to heirloom fruits. There will be a special  
market-growers round-table, to which everyone is invited. And tours of the  Sustainable 
Mountain Agriculture Center, which is hosting the conference. 

And, of course, there's  the ever popular Saturday night cook-out. 

As with all AHSC events, non-members are welcome. 

So start planning now on attending. For complete details about the  
conference, or for membership information, contact Appalachian Heirloom Seed  
Conservancy at _KentuckySeeds@hotmail.com_ (K*@hotmail.com) 

Note to writers & editors: All fees are waived for working press. But  we'd 
like to know in advance if you plan on attending. 

Staff members of both AHSC and SMAC will be available for  interviews at the 
conference. Or contact me if you're interested in doing  stories ahead of 
time. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.
