Uprising Seeds
Vegetables, herb, flower, and grain seeds. I was really inspired by this website, starting with the name. “All our seeds are open-pollinated, certified organic by the USDA, and grown by small family farmers in the Pacific Northwest.And the list their growers Uprising Seeds is a small family run organic seed farm and the culmination of years of fresh market farming, variety trialing, seed production and breeding work, and most importantly, a decades-long love affair with food and its power to bring people together. Our ideal vision of seed sustainability involves farmers and gardeners as the stewards of the varieties that they depend on. We are therefore committed to strengthening the public commons of seed genetics by working to preserve and improve open-pollinated varieties keeping biodiversity strong through adaptability and resilience.” Flip through their beautiful catalog.
