Seed Savers Exchange Blog

Seed Savers Exchange is a nonprofit, member supported organization that collects, preserves and shares heirloom seeds for our future. Since 1975, SSE and our supporters have collected the seeds and stories that would otherwise have been lost.

Seed are coming in for harvest @ #heritagefarm! #seeds #saveseeds #heirloomseeds

Last chance for 25% off ALL seeds. Our big fall sale ends tonight. Shop the #linkinbio.
This Brown's Yellow Giant tomato weighs in at 2 pounds, 4 ounces. Our evaluation team is growing it out with hopes that it may be listed on the Exchange in the next couple years. #tomatoes #heirloomseeds #growyourown #garden
GOAL = ACHIEVED! Because of you, the historic barn at Seed Savers Exchange will stand on, continuing to serve as a hub for vital work and events at Heritage Farm for years to come. Your generosity, and that of many others in our community, raised over $70,000! This means that work will begin soon to repair the roof, batten siding, and windows. Your support is doing even more than helping the essential work of Seed Savers Exchange - it is also preserving a historic icon. Thank you!!!
We have a match! Thanks to a spontaneous and generous matching gift to the Restore the Barn campaign, YOUR gift now will double! You will get us to our goal by the deadline on Friday - and the barn repairs can begin! Ensure that this beloved icon continues to stand and serve the Seed Savers Exchange community now and for years to come. Double your impact by making your gift today!
Seed harvesting is in full swing at #heritagefarm. These tiny little seeds, once planted, will grow into Miniature Chocolate Bell Peppers! #seeds #peppers #harvest
Read all about the Tomato Tasting (#linkinbio)- including a recap of all the winners and recipes that were featured at the event. #heirloomtomatoes #tomato #heritagefarm
Head's up: The visitors center at Seed Savers Exchange will be closing early this year to make way for barn renovations and other site improvements. Our last day for the 2018 season will be September 15. Until then, everything in the visitor's center shop is 25% off, plus seeds are an additional 25% off. #heritagefarm #seedsaversexchange #seedsavers #decorah #iowa #driftless
Thank you to everyone who attended today's Tomato Tasting. We hope you had a wonderful time. And (drumroll, please)...this year's winners are: Slicing Tomato: Wisconsin Chief Paste/Sauce Tomato: Salvaterra's Select (last year's reigning champ!) Cherry/Snacking Tomato: Black Cherry Stay tuned next week for a full recap and more tomato photos. Enjoy the rest of Labor Day weekend!
Our preservation team is conducting a full evaluation during the tomato tasting. #heirloomtomatoes
