An idea we’re growing
Could more seeds find a home?
We’re exploring a project where participating growers contribute seeds and recipients pay only for shipping. We’re working through sourcing, suitability, and fulfillment before offering any seeds.
Free-seed pilot · In developmentWhat we’re thinking about
- Sourcing. Which growers might contribute seed, and how we’d record where each lot came from.
- Suitability. Matching seed to the region where it will be grown, and being honest about limits.
- Fulfillment. Packing, labeling, and shipping small orders reliably, and following seed and plant rules that differ by state.
- Cost. Recipients would pay only shipping. We’re working out what that would cost before promising anything.
Interest onlyNo seeds are available through this project yet. Sharing interest doesn’t reserve seeds.
Get involved
