Show Notes
- The feature of this episode is an old time Appalachian tradition, saving seeds, particularly bean seeds. Seed saver Ben Cohen has written a brand new book entitled “From our Seeds and their Keepers”, A Collection of Stories, with forward written by Bill Best.
We hear a story of a bean that Ben has saved and returned to the Cades Cove Museum in Blount County, TN that was originally from Kermit Caughen - one of the last people to live in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
- Amy shares a soup bean recipe to share with you that might rival your Mamaw’s.
- Fred Sauceman shares a segment on a variety of Appalachian beans, terms of Appalachian bean preparations, and a story of the “Noble Bean” that was saved by Seed Saver Bill Best of Berea, Kentucky.
