“You almost cannot help but feel connected when you work with seed.”
“You almost cannot help but feel connected when you work with seed.”
Seed savers keeping biodiversity alive share a connection. As a seed farmer, Kim Delaney feels that deep connection to small-scale farmers everywhere who also plant, grow and save seeds.
“Sometimes when it’s super early in the morning and I’ve got my hands in the soil, I feel this connection with not only other people around the world with their hands in the soil, but past generations, too,” Kim says.
“Seed has come to us from generations and generations and generations of people selecting what they consider the best attributes. For so long our ancestors have done that work and now we have all these foods today as a result.”
You’re connected too.
