January 2011: Join the Central Tree Crops Research Trust's Bean Import Project. Liberate beans everywhere.
"The Central Tree Crops Research Trust is seeking donations towards the importation of rare and unusual seeds from the United States. In a two-year project, the Trust is working with a seed saving organisation in the U.S., who will grow the beans and have them inspected during the growing season to ensure that they are pest and disease free. The varieties selected include ancient and beautiful North American Indian varieties, some traditional Mexican varieties, as well as some early American Settler varieties."
