SEED FARMING

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.” 


Winona LaDuke eco-activist


UJAMAA SEEDS

WHAT ARE "CULTURALLY MEANINGFUL SEEDS?"

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.
