WHITE WATER FARM
We have been seed collectors for 40 + years. We started collecting seeds from around our local area. With the passage of time it became harder and harder to source our seeds due to the growing trend of clearing more land to grow monoculture crops. In 2002 we decided to start our own seed orchard. Many of the trees and shrubs planted originated from seeds we had collected and cuttings from native stands to ensure the genetic variability stayed present.
Today we collect seeds largely from our own land but have access to many other local sites. Seed collecting is a constantly changing endeavor. So much depends on the weather; be it an usually warm or cold winter, weather conditions at time of pollination, thru the growing season or when it is time to harvest the seeds. We also have to contend with insect/animal cycles and the constant threat of pesticide drift.
We accept seed orders prior to harvest. If we have surplus seeds we will list the seeds in our store.
It is always like Christmas when a package arrives from you. The variety of seeds is always exciting.
