    We are just starting this discussion and want to note this. Currently our main Seed Collection-Library (that we know about) is located in Eugene OR. There are 1,174 current varieties and most donations are coming in via Eugene Backyard Farmer in the heart of Eugene where our Seed Exchange is located. This is a permanent exchange open Monday through Saturday 10:00 AM through 6:00 PM.

    Should you wish to donate seeds, please feel free to reach out, we re-packet everything so please don’t feel inhibited to donate. This is a recent donation which comprised 102 varieties in total, mainly from The Sharing Gardens in Monroe, OR.

    Currently we are undergoing a series of Propagation Fair events where we have teamed up with the Agrarian Sharing Network (ASN) to help with their seed-swap activities; this is noted in greater detail in a dedicated discussion. During the Corvallis event a large seed donation came in as a result of the collector of the collection having passed-on. We are deeply honoured to have been entrusted with such a precious inheritance. There were over 300 varieties of seeds and our seed bank now stands at 1,535 varieties, total.
