 Due to continued demand for the Trees & Hills 2008 anthology about food, SEEDS has gone into a third printing! Colin Tedford and I had a great time stamping the apple print covers at Cat Garza's house in White River Junction, Vt. in early December. The books are for sale at www.treesandhills.org and each copy comes with a recipe book and organic seeds.
