The comprehensive grower’s guide to seed production
The Seed Farmer is required reading for any grower who cares about being part of a truly sustainable local food system.
Whether you’re interested in growing your own seeds for on-farm use, or scaling up for retail or commercial sales, this comprehensive manual will help you ensure reliable access to quality seed stock adapted to your own climate and bioregion. Coverage includes:
- The journey to self-sufficiency—how to extricate yourself from the modern seed distribution industry and develop varieties adapted to your location and climate
- When to worry about cross-pollination, crop timing, and poor seed genetics and when to ignore these issues on your small farm or market garden
- Detailed profiles and practical, hands-on growing and harvesting techniques for dozens of vegetable and flower crops
- The economics of seed production, and the business case for scaling up and selling seeds into local, retail, or wholesale channels
- Farm planning, sowing schedules, projected crop yields, and other considerations.
With everything you need to help integrate seed production into your small-scale farm or market garden simply, profitably, and successfully, this unique and exciting guide proves that going to seed is easier than you think!
