Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the Fall or “Mini” Seedy Saturday on November 23. It was wonderful to see local seeds finding new homes and witness the intense seedy conversations amongst friends old and new. Thanks especially to everyone who facilitated the wonderful and well-attended workshops and those who were there! We look forward to experiencing the same magic in March!
As always the main attraction in March will be the Seed Swap table so we encourage you to bring seeds that you have saved to share! Please bring seeds for native plants, shrubs and trees and vegetable and flower seeds. Label your seed packages with the variety, year harvested, number of seeds in the packet and any other information that could be helpful to other growers and seed savers. Seeds from the Seed Swap Table will be available by donation if you don’t have any to share yet!
Climate-resilient, locally adapted seeds from the KASSI Living Seed Commons will be available by donation.
Seed vendors and Community Groups will be there too! We will add more information here as things unfold.
Let’s get the word out! Please download the poster and share it widely. Thank you!

GROW YOUR OWN FOOD AND SEED!
KASSI (the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative) is a non-profit organization committed to helping everyone grow their own food and seed. Together we can build regional climate resilience by:
- being part of a community of confident, enthusiastic and skilled seed savers
- growing and sharing climate-resilient, locally adapted, non-hybrid/non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds from the KASSI Living Seed Commons
- supporting the development of a vibrant sustainable network of local ecological growers producing local food and local seed that can be legally grown, saved and shared
Local seed is the foundation of local food systems. The simple act of seed saving is a way to connect with your food and your community. It is also a major act of resistance and social empowerment.
We trust that you find the peace and joy that comes from growing seeds and connecting with the Earth now and always.
