For any of you in the area--this is a public event sponsored by the Wormfarm Institute as part of the lead up to their Smithsonian Institute travelling display "Key Ingredients:  America by Food" which will start around Oct. 22 or 23.   Rumor has it that Nabhan will be talking about apples.

• Tuesday, Sept. 28 7:30-8:30 p.m. Gary Paul Nabhan - Renewing America's Food Traditions

Reedsburg Public Library, 370 Vine Street
Social time begins at 7:00 with refreshments provided by the Friends of the Library

Author and Macarthur Foundation "Genius Grant" recipient Gary Paul Nabhan will talk to us about the loss of agro-biodiversity in the area and the Midwesterners who are working in collaborative conservation to restore many nearly forgotten foods to their rightful places in fields and streams, in orchards and pastures, in markets and on our tables. Many success stories can inspire us, but the return of heritage fruits in Wisconsin is one that will be celebrated during this, the Year of the Heirloom Apple. 

 

Author of over 20 books, Nabhan is also the founder of the Renewing America's Food Traditions Alliance, the Flavors without Borders Farming and Foodways Collaborative, and Native Seeds/SEARCH. Though originally from the Midwest, he currently resides in Patagonia, Arizona where he raises Mission era heritage fruit trees and native crops. www.garynabhan.com
