Seed saving
​& sharing

Seeds are a living link to our ancestors. Humans have a rich culture of seed saving that goes back thousands of years to the beginning of agriculture. Today, when we grow our heritage, non-hybridized seeds, we continue a story that began many generations in the past. We can all take part in adding a chapter to that story. 

​WATER-WISE
​Mini grants

In partnership with Harmony Farm Supply, we offer eligible affiliate schools Water Wise mini grants which include free irrigation design, installation support and up to $400 in funding for a drip irrigation system. ​
