I love pears, was munching on a sweet and juicy Bosc pear while I was reading your newsletter. Red pears are my favorite, but honestly, they all so good. I prefer them to apples.

As far as history goes, I'm working with Burlington County on reviving the seed history there. I'm Library Seed Bank on Twitter, we follow each other. South Jersey has an interesting seed history, and I use the seed libraries that I have to connect the public to it.

February 2nd I'm launching a public research project in Burlington County with a series of workshops at the Burlington County Agriculture Center into the Johnson & Stokes Seed Company that was in Mooerstown at one time.

My personal work is on Jersey tomatoes, and I have brought three varieties back to South Jersey, and I'm bringing back two more this year to Burlington County County.

My mission is to raise the Jersey tomato to the iconic status it deserves.
