SEEDS

Do you have seeds that you save and grow that have been passed down through

your family, or do you know someone who is saving heirloom seeds?

Do you grow and save seed of any varieties that are no longer or never

have been available commercially?

What are the stories or family histories that go with these seeds?

The Upper Valley Seed Savers are looking for local vegetable and herb varieties

to preserve and add to our collection of local, open-pollinated seeds. We are

especially interested in unknown varieties that have been grown in this area for

years or even generations and are not available commercially.

If you have seeds and stories that you are willing to share, or if you just have questions

about saving these seeds and keeping your variety viable, please contact Ruth at:

uvseedsavers@gmail.com or 802-295-6546
