- Seed Savers - Farm to Fork Wyoming

- Description
- Seeds are the genesis of most every grain and vegetable crop every year. From the humble saved seed, civilizations have been anchored and thrived, while unique, regional foods flourished. Just a few decades ago, the act of seed saving was something every farmer knew. But this skill is quickly vanishing and taking regional food diversity with it. However, a movement involving communities and farmers across Wyoming and beyond is working to revive this essential practice - and the flavor, beauty and adventure that comes with it. We’ll explore a seed library and meet market farmers stewarding regionally adapted seeds passed down through generations.
