plant some local traditions in your garden!

Abenaki Calais Flint corn

True Cranberry bean

It is beautiful and instructive to watch the 3 Sisters growing together, and we invite you to try a hill of tasty tradition this season!

Howden field pumpkin

Our ability to save and trade seeds is threatened and needs protection.
