Friends of Allen Centennial 2023 Winter Series, with Julie Dawson, Associate Professor, Hort. Department, UW-Madison

The Seed to Kitchen Collaborative connects plant breeders, farmers, gardeners and chefs to improve flavor and quality of organic vegetables. It serves to evaluate new and soon-to-be-released varieties for culinary traits and performance in farms and gardens. The collaborative also includes a network of farmers and gardeners helping to develop new varieties of tomatoes and peppers with independent plant breeders in the Midwest.
