At UCFA we view seeds as more than a commodity, but also as vessels of cultural heritage. As a commodity, seed farming can be a lucrative business opportunity for farmers, gardeners, and growers as demand far outstrips supply. On just a small plot of land, growers can make a profit from seed farming as a side business.
“Seeds are not just seeds. They’re like ancestors. They have a history. Seeds have stories.”

Recently we received an inquiry on social media asking: "What are culturally meaningful seeds?" At UCFA we throw that phrase around a lot, but we must remember that many people, even many gardeners and farmers, don't think about seeds as vessels of culture.
Below are a few online articles that discuss the concept and practice of preserving seeds and sharing seed stories.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
