Organic Farmer Network: Network Discussion Summary

Topic: Eggplant

Favorite Eggplant varieties

Orient Express gets nods from the Network.

Ken says Orient Charm is great. It grows 6 ft tall. -- really big and prolific. It is beautiful on the display.

The orientals are far superior in flavor and lack of seeds, but Nicolas has trouble selling them in Atlanta. Asian restaurants do like them, but not other chefs. They like the big black Nadias.

Louisiana Long green is good for Nicolas but not for Cathy

Wiedigers can’t get people to buy Neon, but others in the Network like it.

Wiedigers recommend Tango. It’s a white eggplant and cost a whole lot

Charlie recommends Cloud 9 (Fedco). It is a very pretty white eggplant.
