It doesn't cost very much for me to maintain this website but it would be nice
if it paid for itself. I hope to get some Cafepress items available soon. In
the meantime, please take a look at these books that I have recommended through
Amazon.com. They will pay a percentage to me whenever anyone purchases it.
This book
would be a good purchase for anyone interested in growing ramps. It is
packed full of information on growing ginseng, goldenseal, ramps and eleven
other forest botanicals. There is a section about Glen Facemire. He and his
wife own Ramp Farm Specialties in Richwood, WV. I've been aquainted with them
for several years and Glen probably knows more about ramps than anyone around.
The Wild Vegetarian Cookbook has several ramp recipes in it. It really is
written for vegetarians but most of the recipes could be adapted. Not everyone
likes tofu!
Appalachian Home Cooking: History, Culture, And Recipes has a recipe for fried
ramps and mentions the Feast of the Ramson in Richwood, WV.
