Here’s a lovely gift for the gardener in your life. These heirloom seeds come from very unique land—that of Blackberry Farm, the acclaimed resort in the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains. Three heirloom seed packs might include brown crowder (pea pods), pencil cob (a unique, slender corn), Ponderosa tomato, Genovese basil, or homestead tomato. The pack of three will depend on the season, and the lucky gardener will be contributing to keeping our food supply diverse. We’re also including the second Blackberry cookbook, signed by owner-author Sam Beall, focusing on the "foothills cuisine" of the region, and incorporating wisdom passed down through generations of locals. There are recipes for green tomato pie and fried catfish with cucumber slaw, banana peanut butter pudding and skillet cornbread.

Here’s what you get:

• Five heirloom seed packets

• One copy of The Foothills Cuisine of Blackberry Farm, signed by author Sam Beall
