About Saving Seeds

A FOOD CHAIN RADIO RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM


Where there were many seed companies, there are now but few. Their consolidation of the gene pool leads us to ask…

Why save the many when a few might do?

This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson’s Food Chain Radio hosts John Torgrimson, Editor, Seed Savers Exchange, for a conversation about saving heirloom seeds.

Topics include how heritage seeds differ from hybridized and engineered seeds; why some believe it is important to save the genetics embodied in heirloom seeds; and how heirloom seeds can be saved and exchanged.

Free Seeds

Hello Everyone

We've been talking about a 'seed exchange' to happen at our next meeting, Feb 21. It's more a distribution of seeds that have been saved. Many of you do not have seeds to 'exchange' but come prepared to take some seeds home.

See you Sunday at the Argenta Hall, and don't forget the Soil Workshop Saturday, 2-4, Lardeau Valley Hall.

Cheers
Kate
