Seeds
of Change has always had problems of one sort or another. As a
former
grower who frequently bought seeds from them and grew seeds for
them, I can
honestly say that their operation was always on the
edge. SoC has brilliant
marketing and obvious cash to put into it,
but they never quite managed
fulfillment and their seed growers that
well. The best part of SoC has
always been its growers
network. Though the front line SoC company may go
in a different
direction (good, bad who can tell) the growers are still out
there doing
their good work. What is happening in the seed world is
a
re-bioregionalization as I see it, and that is a really good
thing. A goal
should be to get to a place where we don't need front
line companies like
Seeds of Change, but instead can buy seeds that are
grown regionally and
locally with all the benefits of climatic
adaptation.
Many SoC growers and breeders have their own seed
companies up and running
in their specific bioregions and on the
net. Whenever possible I buy from
them first. Check it
out: Wild Garden Seeds, Oregon; Siskiyou Seeds,
Southern Oregon;
Uprising Seeds, Washington; Abbo-Regional Seeds, Colorado;
Arid Lands
Seed Cache, New Mexico; etc. The Eastern half of the country
has
its own seed network of which I am less familiar.
The only way
to fight against the industrialization and corporate take over
of our
seeds is to grow them ourselves and develop local/regional seed
growers
networks.
The safest place for our seeds is in our own hands and
lands!
Jason
