Seed saving is very important to us for many reasons but on our road to sustainability we believe it is important for people to connect the dots in their food system from seed to fruit to ensure the future accessibility to clean, non GMO food. We honor those ancestors that spent their lives collecting, selecting and saving seeds that have managed to make it to the present day we owe our food diversity to them. We need to keep passing it on and enable local farmer to grow these tasty heirlooms.
