Today, the Native Seeds/SEARCH seed bank houses approximately 2,000
different accessions of traditional crops grown by Apache, Chemehuevi,
Cocopah, Gila River Pima, Guarijio, Havasupai, Hopi, Maricopa, Mayo,
Mojave, Mountain Pima, Navajo, Paiute, Puebloan, Tarahumara, Tohono O'odham
and Yaqui farmers. Over one-half of the collections are comprised of the
three sisters -- corn, bean, and squash.

An additional 48 species of crops and wild crop relatives wait in frozen
storage, including amaranth, tepary bean, chile, cotton, devil's claw,
gourds, melon, sunflowers, tobacco, teosinte, watermelon and wild beans. We
offer a selection below to you.
