August 19, 2023: Midwest Regional Seed and Plant Breeding Field Day
RSVP today to join the Organic Seed Alliance and University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Seed to Kitchen Collaborative for the Midwest Regional Seed and Plant Breeding Field Day on Saturday, August 19, 2023. We’ll learn about organic seed production and plant breeding methods from our hosts Nature and Nurture Seeds, along with presenters from OSA and the Seed to Kitchen Collaborative. Come on out and explore the farm fields and seed cleaning equipment, discuss current plant breeding projects, share tips on producing and selling high-quality seeds, and taste and evaluate soon-to-be-released crop varieties. If you are an aspiring seed saver or plant breeder, or if you are ready to take the next step in growing from hobby to enterprise scale, bring your questions and be ready to learn together with the group! Refreshments will be provided.
If you plan to go, please RSVP at the link below. The day before, the Organic Seed Alliance is also holding a Farm Bill Town Hall with Senator Stabenow’s Team also at Nature and Nurture Seeds Farm. Questions? Contact Michael Lordon at michael@seedalliance.org. RSVP Today
