Preservation comes in many forms.
- American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. If you’re going to eat them, you might as well breed them.
- National Sustainable Agriculture Information Source. This is a treasure. A national treasure.
- Vegetable Varieties for Home Gardeners. A great cross-reference, through Cornell University.
- Slow Food Ark of Taste: USA. One way to preserve something is to stand on a soapbox and yell about how wonderful it is. I grow many things on this list.
- Chicken breeds and varieties. This is a great one-stop place to bone up on your birds!
Sometimes, it is better if you make it yourself.
- Raw milk: Campaign for Real Milk
- Dairying/Cheesemaking sources: both are goaty but work with cowmilk too Caprine Supply Hoegger Goat Supply
- Yogurt/sourdough/tempeh cultures: Gem Supply
And always, TRY LOCAL FIRST.
- Local Harvest. Still the best way to find out who your farmers are, or, barring that, where the farmers’ markets can be found.
- Eat Wild. Best way to source grass-fed meats.
- Eat Well Guide. Through Local Harvest, this is a more exacting finder.
- Dave’s Garden Watchdog. Find both local sources, and how reliable those far-away mailorder sources are for you.
This is the new, improved blog stop: I am so glad you've found its new home.
