He also s sounded pretty pleased with his beets, from which he makes an awesome Borscht with all the ingredients straight from his garden. Our personal favorites that Alan grew for us are Rostov sunflower, Burgundy amaranth, Kindred squash, Parching Lavender Mandan corn and Oregon Spear melon. Alan talked about why his work is important. He spoke of his passion for the medicinal herbs and how feels part of a very important circle. He grows the seeds and plants that herbalists turn into medicine.
Healers use that medicine to help and heal people.
It's important to Alan to be an integral part of that circle of helping people change their lives in a positive way. It's also exciting to Alan that what he grows ends up all over the world. Seeds he gave a friend in Eastern Washington are shared with another friend in Australia. Seeds he grows for us are sent all over the world. Alan feels fortunate that he's doing what he loves and gets to work at home.
