SUMMARY:October Seed Growers Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:The Seed Growers Meet-up is an informal lunchtime gathering for farmers\, seed growers\, plant breeders\, and anyone curious about saving seed. It’s a space to connect with others working with seed\, share what’s happening on your farm or in your garden\, and talk through the questions and ideas that come up throughout the season. \nEach meet-up is shaped by the people who join. Conversations often range from practical seed production topics—like crop planning\, isolation distances\, population sizes\, and seed cleaning—to broader discussions about seed systems\, breeding projects\, and the challenges and opportunities growers are navigating. \nWhether you’ve been producing seed for years or are just starting to explore it\, you’re warmly welcome. Bring your lunch\, your questions\, and your seed stories as we learn from one another and strengthen a community of growers working to produce diverse\, high-quality seed.
