Great to find another seed community online.
I started a small regional seed organization called the Seed Library. We started at a public library in Gardiner NY.
We're still getting off the ground, but so far there is great interest and enthusiasm from the seed saving community.
Our goal is to stay very regional, have all of our seeds grown in the region they are intended to be planted in, and focus
entirely on open-pollinated seeds with roots in local history.
The Seed Library allows members to "borrow" seed, just like a book at a public library.
Seed is "returned" by saving some seed at the end of the season.
When our website is up, members will be able to check-out seeds
online.
for more info.

Michael, i found this potential source for your Arracacia xanthorrhiza
seed on the web:
http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Arracacia+xanthorrhiza"...........but a potential source for it seems to be Peace Seeds at
Corvalis, OR. They don't have a website, though, so we'd have to
mail/call to ask for a catalogue: 2385 SE Thompson St, Corvallis,
Oregon
97333-1919 Phone: (541) 752-0421"

Hello,
I've just joined this list, but I'm very puzzled by the posting by
bob@4agoodauction.com listing a bunch of companies that offer GMO
seeds.
Did I miss somthing? To me this suggests a list of companies that
members of
this list might wish to avoid. I apologize if there was an earlier
thread I
missed and this somehow should make sense - but I searched the archives
and
didn't find one. Clarification appreciated.
Teresa
