Let the seed-shopping season begin! The 2024 offerings are being loaded into seed-catalog websites, and the earliest print catalogs are already arriving in our mailboxes, as if to help soften the separation anxiety we may feel if we’ve already put our gardens to bed for the winter.
One that I always look forward to is Turtle Tree Seed, a biodynamic company where years ago I discovered a few must-have vegetable varieties that I’ve grown every garden season since.
My guest today is Lia Babitch, co-manager of Turtle Tree in Copake, N.Y., which offers about 400 biodynamically grown varieties of vegetable, herb and flower seeds.
Turtle Tree is part of Camphill Village Copake, a non-profit intentional community of adults with developmental differences. Lia will tell us more about that, and about biodynamics—and I suspect she’ll entice us with news of some of the upcoming seed offerings, too.
