With conditions (takeovers, buy outs, sell offs, what have you... oh, and of 
course, new sources, too!) being what they are, continuous grooming of seed 
lists is tres importante!
Thanks for this update and any additional ones that anyone anywhere might 
have...
We must, like a network of bees, let each other know where the nectar lies!
Updated and current.  Not a static world here at all!

Subject: Re: [permaculture] Heirloom Seed Sources

Also, Turtle Tree Seeds is doing phenomenal work, and has lots of European
heirlooms. Lists like this need to reflect the work of new heirloom
developers, that is, bioregional seed companies that produce their own seed
and continue with selection based breeding. It's not enough to preserve the
varieties of the past in China and ship them back to the US. We need new
breeders out there creating the new bioregional heirlooms that are
genetically adapting to shifting climate.
