Join the March Seed Growers Meet-Up!

With March and the spring equinox approaching, we are starting to see our first seeds emerge indoors. Many growers are starting early seed crops, organizing grow-outs, and thinking through field layouts, isolation distances, and population sizes for the season ahead.

This informal lunchtime Seed Growers Meetup is a space to connect with other growers and seed-curious folks and share where you’re at in the process. Whether you’re starting your first seed crops, preparing for spring planting, or deciding which varieties to grow out and save seed from, bring your questions, observations, and half-formed ideas.

Last time, we had great conversations about seed cleaning equipment, how orchardists, native seed growers, field croppers, market gardeners, and seed companies are all approaching seed saving, how potential changes to seed regulations could impact our work, and ways to share breeding projects with others. We’re excited to keep those conversations going.

As part of EFAO’s Member Month, this March meetup is free to everyone — members and non-members alike — making it a great time to join the conversation.

Bring your lunch, your seed stories, and your questions. Growers of all experience levels are welcome as we compare notes and head into the growing season together.
