Have you seen Buffalo Seed Company packets at retail centers? Come meet owners Matthew and Nancy Kost. Their mission is to supply growers with bio-regionally adapted seeds to increase the resiliency and sustainability of our local food systems.

In their program, “Seed Saving: Enhancing Diversity and Resilience,” they will explore the importance of local seed saving for food security, biodiversity, climate resilience, and cultural heritage. They will discuss how to confront the challenges posed by land loss, market pressures, climate change, and biopiracy. They also will provide examples of seed-saving techniques for various crops, supported by photographs and videos.
