Can't wait to read about what you cook. I am making another recipe this afternoon to take to a party. To answer your question about nuts - we are really lucky in that regard. Oregon has the largest hazelnut/filbert crop in the US, so we can easily get local hazelnuts. We can also get local walnuts and chestnuts. We get almonds from California. I believe our pine nuts come from the Southwest - Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. I often substitute locally grown nuts for those that are less local in recipes. Erika & Eugenia - Thanks for the note. Tom - Thank you so much for keeping track of what your customers are saying about Territorial and clarifying your direction. I hope to get some more specific information from you so we can use some of your seed for our garden this year! Mangochild - You are going to love the Heirloom Bean book.

Please note that Seminis is the company that you speak of that is now owned by Monsanto. Seminis is NOT a major supplier of Territorial Seed Company. In fact, we are now our own largest seed supplier as 25% of all the vegetable seed we sell comes from our certified organic London Spring Farms. Its apparent that Seminis's Home Garden division business model and ours no longer track. We are actively conducting vegetagle trials looking for suitable replacements for the few remaining items from Seminis. Sadly, true replacements for some of the classic hybrids such as Celebrity, Super Marzano, and Big Beef tomatoes will never be found. These items were crafted years ago specificly for home gardeners by the breeding artists of the old Petoseed company, the original company we signed up to do business with 30 years ago.

They really are so versatile. Are there many sources for nuts where you are? There aren't around here, and I wish there were.
