By Rhodes and Gordon

Murray, KY – Heirloom vegetables -- those old, open pollinated varieties that have stood the test of time -- have become popular all over again, and for good reason.

Heirlooms are living artifacts. Popular in living history exhibits, these old-time varieties offer a glimpse of life in earlier times. Heirloom veggies - on today's Catfish to Caviar.
