Abstract:

Katie Button discusses her research on the history of food in the Appalachian region. Among her research were “leather britches,” a term referring to an old Appalachian way of preserving greasy beans in the winter by stringing them with a needle and thread, hanging them to dry, and then sealing them in jars until they were ready to be rehydrated and cooked. They are called leather britches because the dried beans look like leather that has gotten wet, then dried out.

Abstract:

After inheriting his ancestral farm, agriculturist Don Lee has moved away from growing regular crops like corn and tobacco. Instead, he has transformed it into the Garrett Wildflower Seed Farm, a seed-growing operation for native wildflowers and grassland species. The seeds are bought by landowners that want to restore indigenous landscapes, companies that want to use native plants for utility projects, and projects that endeavor to reestablish pollinator plants for bees and butterflies.

Abstract:

In Mount Airy, North Carolina, a couple decides to collaborate with a landscaper to design the perfect gardens to match their quirky house. The front side of the house shows a red brick façade from 1834 that requires a tame, structured garden. The other side is a 20th-century stone addition that requires a whimsical, free-flowing Victorian style garden to go with the kitchen garden.
