About this organization
Mission
Seed Savers Exchange conserves and promotes America's culturally diverse but endangered garden and food crop heritage for future generations by collecting, growing, and sharing heirloom seeds and plants.
About
Sales of seeds and plants to the public in order to effect and demonstrate 'lost to the ecosystem' non-hybrid seed varieties can be reintroduced through growers' acceptance. Cultivation of such otherwise unavailable seeds have been prepserved in the organization's seedbank, and their ensuing distribution and sale is a 'substantially related' demonstration activity.
