Alan
Now do you know who carries these seeds or where I can barter for them? The
sieglende potatoes (white russet shaped fingerlings) are about the best I
have ever eaten. From the Potato Garden. And, I am raising 4 more varieties
this year.

What is the most successful root-based agriculture in the world? It
all comes from the Andes in South America. Like the ones who gave us
the potatoes, now give us oca, mash, achocha, ulluco, bacon, chichi,
mauka, topotopo - one crop after another, none of which are known
pretty much by anyone who gardens in the United States. That means we
have the opportunity to take what is an Andean, high-altitude,
sustainable food system - not based on meat, but based on roots. And
we can incorporate it as part of the native food system that was here
and develop an organic, sustainable food system that's tested out by
hundreds, if not thousands of generations of people.

-Alan Kapuler


The plants Alan mentions are very hard to find in the US. It would be
good to compile a list of nurseries that have this material available.
I got oca One Green World a few years ago.
