Hundreds of Rare Fruits Vegetables You ve NEVER Seen Before And You Can Grow Them

Alright! This is John Kohler with growingyourgreens.com. Today we have another exciting episode for you. Today we're here in Bakersville at the Pioneer Village with Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company. The reason why I'm here in October, I think this is the first time I've ever been out here in October because normally I come out for the spring planting sale or the flower festival they have earlier in the year. But this is the first time I've been out here for the harvest festival. I normally see Baker Creek peoples at the heirloom festival that took place in September of every year except during the pandemic in California. But they have since canceled it for this year. Hopefully it comes back in the future. So this event is a two-day event. Starts on Sunday and then goes through Monday. Today is Monday. I spoke yesterday. So today is my free day to show you guys what you guys missed here at the harvest festival. So I think this video is going to be dedicated to show you guys the exhibit tent with all the seasonal displays of different fruits and vegetables to give you guys an idea of just some of the amazing kinds of fruits and vegetables from all over the world. And most of these that I'll be showing you guys you can grow at home because Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company at rareseeds.com, you can buy the seeds from them and then grow them yourselves. So you can have flavors and taste sensations that money cannot buy in the grocery store. So in the grocery store we have such a limited variety of fruits and vegetables you can eat. You think you have a large selection of a hundred different fruits and vegetables. So I'm going to take you guys in that tent there and there's like thousands of different kinds of fruits and vegetables and I'm going to try to go over each and every one for you. So for some of you guys this may be a boring video. For some of you guys it may be exciting. But the other thing I will say is that I'm going to also make sure you click that subscribe button because I have an upcoming episode where I show you guys the highlights of the Harvest Festival and all my favorite vendors, booths and displays at this event in a more shorter condensed format and also what you guys missed. So actually let's head out into the display tent and show you guys the amazing display of fruits and vegetables today. Alright so now we're inside the event and basically it's just the Baker Creek grounds and there's just a bunch of booths and things set up. This is the area where they have like the food trucks. They also have a plant based restaurant on site run by Baker Creek. And what I'll say is that this event has a few less vendors than the spring events that I have been to in the past. In the spring events there's a lot of energy, everybody's selling, there's a lot of people selling plant starts and other things. This event seems to be a little more mellow and it runs from Sunday and Monday. Today is the second day Monday and Sunday was the day that was totally packed. I expect people, you know, be a bit less. Like there's not going to be as high of attendance today as there was yesterday. I mean I think the main thing to see is in the tent straight ahead so we're going to show you guys that first and that's just all the amazing fruit and vegetable displays with heirlooms and amazing fruits grown in this great country. Alright guys so right here is like the map if you guys want to pick up a map so you guys could know everything about this event grounds. There's a seasonal harvest display, that's what we're showing you guys next. There's a bunch of different vendor tents, food vendors, more vendors, all kinds of vendors all over, seed store, greenhouse and plant sales. They have farm tours and then of course they have speakers and then they're also selling the squash tower that I'll show you guys in a little bit and they're actually selling all the squash out of that at 5pm on Monday, which today is Monday. And then they have the schedule here. The schedule runs from, the event opens at like 10 o'clock every day. Luckily I'm in here a little bit early before everybody gets in there. It's at 10.30 is the first talk and then the last talk is at 4.30 on Sunday and on Monday it's 10.30. Once again goes through 4.30. There's lectures pretty much on every hour. So with that let's head into the display hall with all the amazing produce on display. Alright guys so the display hall is, there's no lighting in here so the lighting might be a bit bad. So what I'm going to do for you guys is actually take you guys on a hand cam shot and basically take you guys around to show you guys all the different amazing fruits and vegetables that are on display here. Most of the seeds for these fruits and vegetables that are on display you can buy at rareseeds.com.

That being said, if you are curious about some of the different rare varieties and fruits and vegetables that I showed in this episode, you are not out of luck, because the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company that puts out this amazing catalog, this is called the Whole Seed Catalog, this is the 2025 edition. At this event, they give them away for free, because they will soon be coming out with the 2026 edition. They have a standard free catalog that you can request online at rareseeds.com, but also if you want to pay a bit more money, you can get the Whole Seed Catalog, and this catalog, guys, this is the deepest catalog that goes super deep, sharing stories of all the different heirloom fruits and vegetables. This is the largest seed catalog in the world, it's 532 pages of full color. I know the photographers here at Baker Creek, they're amazing, and my videos suck compared to the pictures that you guys are going to see in the catalog, and detailed descriptions of every single fruit, vegetable, and flower they sell here. I mean, look at this, man, this just makes your eyes water, hopefully your mouth salivate with all these amazing different melons, right? And if you just rely on the grocery store to source and buy your food from, you're eating a small sampling of all the amazing fruits and vegetables in the world. That's why I really appreciate companies like Baker Creek that makes these, I mean, look at this, this catalog is just packed with just pages and pages of just mouth-watering delicious fruit, vegetables, and flowers, squashes, hard squashes, leafy greens, tomatoes from all over the world that talk about some of the different, you know, where the tomatoes are from, like each seed has a story that they try to recollect and share with you guys so you guys know the history of the food. We are losing food history, guys. So I mean, one of the best investments if you guys are gardeners to get the Baker Creek heirloom seed catalog, this full one, I mean, I would leave it on your coffee table because, like, when people come over and, like, pick it up because they're bored and look, they can just read stories about all these amazing fruits and vegetables that really money can't buy unless you grow them yourself. And they all taste amazing, different flavors from around the world, you can appreciate and grow in your very gardens wherever you live in the world, especially with Baker Creek, they ship seeds all over the United States.
