EP: 425 Seed Freedom & Resilience Why Open Pollinated Is More Important than Ever Siskiyou Seeds

Join me and my guest, Don Tipping from Siskiyou Seeds as we discuss the history of seeds and seed saving and how it’s changed over the past 100 years. Our conversation takes a deep dive into how seed companies source their seed (this may surprise you!) and how to know you’re getting quality seeds with the exact characteristics you want.
