It’s harvest season in the garden at Lost Creek Farm, where Mike Costello and Amy Dawson grow dozens of unique heirloom vegetables, from Homer Fike’s Yellow Oxheart tomatoes and Pink Annie half-runner beans, to Bloody Butcher corn and Cushaw squash. Behind each of those plants is a generations-deep community of people who’ve saved their cherished seeds and passed them down over the years. We visit just a few seed savers behind some of the crops grown at Lost Creek Farm, and we hear stories of seeds connecting people to their own families and communities, as well as other cultures and far-away places.
