This week’s local highlight is heirloom potatoes from Weiser Family Farms.  Located just 100 miles from Oxy, Weiser Family Farms is focused on creating a bio-diverse farm dedicated to applying sustainable farming techniques. Their goal is to supply people with unique fruits and vegetables at their peak, rather than picked for commercial usage. Heirloom is a term that refers to a cultivar that was grown during earlier periods in human history, but is not used in contemporary large-scale farming operations. The use and growth of heirloom produce helps to preserve unique cultivars while preventing food-monoculture.
