In May 2015, Pure Line Seeds started their first field trials geared specifically towards fresh market vegetables. This was done not only to allow PLS employees a chance to look at the vegetable varieties they carry but also to let customers see the products. The 2016 Showcase trials included 140 10 x 10 ft. plots with 19 different vegetables and over 120 different varieties. Kirsten Rosen is the manager of these field trials and an AAS Edible – Vegetable Judge.
