2002
Update

2002 has been another year of growth for us. With the help of family, friends and customer orders, we have expanded our physical seed storage and office space.

We also have expanded the amount of our farm that we have under cultivation. This was made possible by the loan of a tractor for a couple of days.

Next growing season the challenge will be keeping this huge area weeded and watered! Perhaps we will have volunteer gardening positions open next year!

For frequent visitors, you will notice that much of your feedback has resulted in our cart system has been greatly improved. It is a bit more intuitive, utilizes user accounts to remember your basic information, and is structured to allow us a greater degree of flexibility in optimizing the system for our requirements.

2003
Outlook

With the end of our summer growing season passed, we are cleaning and testing the seed that we have harvested and are actively getting ready for the 2003 season.

In the coming weeks, we will be preparing for the holiday season and working on our 2003 mail order catalog.

If you ordered a catalog or made a purchase in 2002, you will be receiving a 2003 catalog. If you have had a change in address, please email us your old and new address and we will make sure that you receive the new catalog around the first of the year.

Support Opportunities

Please review our "Needs Page" to see if there are areas where you might be able to plug-in and help further our work.

Seed Preservation Work

Preserving family and other rare seed varieties is the most satisfying part of our work.

If you are growing a family heirloom or a rare old time commercially released variety and would like help preserving it, please consider sending us a sample.

Snow & Nealley Tools Offered

In the last issue we announced our relationship with Snow & Nealley as a new retailer for their high end garden tool line.

We are happy to announce that we are now carrying their complete line which includes stainless hand tools, axes, mauls, gift sets, and replacement parts.

These are tools that we use on the farm and they make great, lasting gifts.
