EACH OF OUR SEED COMPANIES HAVE TAKEN THE SAFE SEED PLEDGE,
INDICATING THEY WILL NOT KNOWINGLY BUY OR SELL GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEED.
THEY EACH DO THEIR PART TO SAVE THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE REMAINING
FOOD CROP SEEDS AVAILABLE TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS. THIS WORK IS
PARTICULARLY VITAL AS 97% OF THE USDA LISTS OF SEED VARIETIES HAS
DISAPPEARED OVER THE LAST 80 YEARS. OF THE REMAINING TYPES IN
PRODUCTION, OVER 90% ARE PROPRIETARY SEED OWNED BY JUST 6 COMPANIES.
IN 2013 WE ARE OFFERING, WITH OUR THREE SEED COMPANIES TOGETHER,
UPWARDS OF 400 TYPES OF SEEDS OF ALL KINDS. MOSTLY ORGANIC, LARGELY LOCAL
AND OPEN POLLINATED.
FIRST UP ARE OUR COMRADES IN LOCAL GOOD EATING, UPRISING SEEDS.
LAST YEAR THEY SPRINTED AHEAD OF THE OTHERS TO BECOME OUR # 1 SEED
COMPANY. BEFORE BRIAN WAS A SEED MOGUL; HE WAS OUR HEARTY CO-WORKER
HERE IN THE CO-OP PRODUCE DEPT, WAY BACK WHEN. HE AND HIS INTREPID PARTNER
CHRYSTINE COAX LUSCIOUS EDIBLES OUT OF THE GROUND, THEN SAVE THE SEED FOR
US. FULLY 2/3 OF THE VARIETIES OFFERED ARE GROWN BY UPRISING THEMSELVES
LOCALLY, THE REMAINING GROWN IN THE REGION. UPRISING’S SEEDS ARE ALL
ORGANIC, ALL OPEN POLLINATED AND ACCLIMATED TO OUR DAMP CLIMATE. WE
COUNT ON UPRISING TO CONSISTENTLY OFFER US THE BEST SEEDS AVAILABLE TO
NORTHWEST GARDENERS.
NEXT UP IS SEED SAVER’S EXCHANGE OUT OF DECORAH, IOWA. THE MAIN
WORK OF SEED SAVER’S IS, WELL, SAVING SEED. THEY MAINTAIN ONE OF THE LARGEST
NON-GOVERNMENTAL SEED BANKS IN NORTH AMERICA. NOT JUST A SEED BANK, BUT A
GENEBANK, SAVING PLANT TYPES LIKE POTATOES, GARLIC AND APPLES. BUYING
HEIRLOOM SEED FROM THEM SUPPORTS THEIR VERY IMPORTANT WORK.
TERRITORIAL SEED COMPANY BASED IN COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON ROUNDS
OUT OUR OFFERINGS. THEY ARE THE OLD-TIMERS OF THE BUNCH, PARTICULARLY FOR
PNW CROPS. THIS IS A FAMILY OWNED COMPANY, PURCHASED BY THE JOHNS FAMILY
FROM STEVE SOLOMON OVER 25 YEARS AGO.
