We live in the province of Aquitaine where there is an association dedicated to the preservation of the region's heirloom fruits and vegetables. With membership in the thousands, there is a preserve with nursery and greenhouses, lecture hall for courses, and an annual exhibition and sale. We spent last Saturday at the exhibition where you could learn about and possess almost any type of fruit or vegetable that grows well in our region.
There was a huge attendance and most people left with fruit trees to plant. We particularly enjoyed the exhibiton of produce and the vendors selling regional specialities such as tourtiere, an apple tart that I will post next.
