We have operated a medium-sized Certified Organic vegetable operation (40,000#/year) since 2009. We’ve been saving seeds since 2006, on contract since 2012. We do quite a bit of vegetable trialing (would be more than happy to share observations and data) and some vegetable breeding, specifically corn, cucúrbita, nightshades, and beans for heat, insect, and disease-resistance (climate resiliency). Lalo also stewards a collection of seeds from his hometown region of Hueyapan, Veracruz, Mexico. He is trying to adapt them to our climate and also hopes to use them in breeding, particularly corn.
