SALT SPRING ISLAND SEED SAVING DOCUMENTARY

New short film in colaboration with our friends at Salt Spring Island Farmland Trust

Seed saving is an integral part of building local food sovereignty and resilience. We are so excited to have collaborated with Syd Woodward, from Over Grow The System, to showcase local farmers and their seed preservation techniques.

The 8.5 minute video features stories, advice, and practical tips from such Island seed specialists as Dan Jason of Salt Spring Seeds, Ben Corno of Heavenly Roots Farms, Moe Wendt, SSI Permaculture mentor Winged Heart Farm, Meghan McEachern of Stowel Lake Farm.

“We hope viewers come away motivated to get involved, become seed savers, knowing there is a need, and also the facilities, infrastructure, and mentorship to support their seed initiatives,” say Sheila Dobie, Co-Chair of Farmland Trust. “It all contributes to a stronger community.”
