Ep. 29: Organic Seeds & How Advocacy is Changing Locally Grown Vegetables

Growing organic seeds in your garden are not only beneficial but also environmentally responsible.

And we know you want to help the environment.

But, what do you really know about organic seeds and how can they benefit our food systems?

In this special interview with the Organic Seed Alliance, we talk about how organic seed advocacy can benefit local farmers, gardeners, and the public at large.

This episode is meant for any level of gardener who wants to:

• Learn more about how organic seeds are beneficial
• Learn how non-profits are advocating for organic seeds
• How to purchase organic seeds for their own garden.

Organic Seed Alliance: A Small Organization With Big Dreams

Here we interview two groups responsible for bringing awareness to the importance of food production and trying to further our understanding of how we need to think about our environment.

We met with Cara Loriz and Laurie McKenzie at the Finn River Cidery in Chimacum, Wa, where Organic Seed Alliance has a trial farm. Here they evaluate and collect different vegetable crops in the region to further organic seed education within local farming communities.

Their motto should be, "local advocacy for national change."

Listen to this episode to learn about how these ladies are advocating for change at both the local and national levels. Also, gain a better understanding of why growing organic and heirloom seeds is more sustainable and better for our gardens.
