Help! I am also looking for presenters and recipe contributors. If you have a favorite local recipe, that is 100% local, and you want to share it, please email it to me and I will compile a booklet for folks attending the seed exchange. I will be asking for financial contributions to cover the cost of the printing and I will happily give you the credit for your contribution by attaching your name to the recipe if you want. Please contact me, Tracy, for more information.
