Always a sweet occasion getting the first delivery of winter veggies into my local community food pantry, wherever Spirit lands me. This time, I'm with the Community Sharing Program in Cottage Grove, OR, and, as usual, world-class kale diversity figures prominently in the mix.

Kales, a passion. I hang on the coattails of an extraordinary cluster of holistic plant breeders - the folk largely responsible for my bioregion's rep as the 'de facto' epicenter of global 'oleraceae' _and_ 'napus' kale diversity.
