Endangered Ozark heirloom seeds are collected, cataloged, preserved, annually grown out, and then harvested and preserved in three local gardens. See UCA Magazine's featured story about Dr. Brian Campbell's research and student seed saving project.
If you have heirloom seeds, family stories about Arkansas's agricultural heritage, or even regional recipes, we want to hear from you! Email Dr. Campbell at brianc@uca.edu
