Oxbow Farm 2012 seed list
Oxbow Farm
We are avid seed savers at Oxbow Farm and are interested in finding more seed savers in the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier to exchange seed with to expand our collection of locally adapted varieties.
Very interested in discussing seed saving and plant breeding and homestead scale small grain harvesting and processing. This is a list of our currently available seed which is all grown by us here at Oxbow Farm, most of it is fresh from the 2012 season. Seeds listed as F1 are hybrids but they are created by us on farm as part of our plant breeding experimentation, they are not commercially sourced seed. We are offering seeds for trial to anyone and would like to exchange it for interesting seed others have especially if it has been locally saved and has thus begun adapting to the local climate. We are also actively seeking to trade whole copies of our seed archive with others to increase our own germplasm diversity and get our stuff out to others. We can be reached via email or we can meet face to face at the Ithaca Farmer's market where we vend most weeks, although our attendance may be spotty during the Winter Market.
Thanks,
Tim

Is Sean Dembrosky the guy Simone was talking about with all the perennial food plants? I would like to talk with him, we are very weak in the perennial department.
I'd love to contribute to a seed saving workshop. You can post it on another local list, we are interested in collaborating with other local seed savers as much as possible.

Hi Tim, thanks so much for your post and work around seed saving!
For anyone who is interested in this topic, I recently hosted a community conversation on seed saving at Mann Library, and hope to post recordings of that event soon. Many of those in attendance expressed an interest in seeing additional events, including hands on workshops, so it’s great to hear folks here are interested in helping make that happen.
One additional possibility is hosting a visit by Ken Greene from the Hudson Seed Library (www.seedlibrary.org). He’s been quite active in building a diverse regional seed collection for the last 9 years, speaks and writes extensively on seed saving, and is currently organizing a Northeast Seed Summit. I’ve been in touch with him, and he’d love to visit our area and share his work as a model of what we might do here, possibly as a talk and/or workshop.
One of our panelists from the recent event at Mann, Chrys Gardener from Tompkins County Extension (copied here) is very interested in helping support seed saving, applying some of the experience and knowledge she gained managing the Irish Seed Savers Association. She already has a list of interested folks –perhaps we could add to that group from our ranks, helping keep some momentum going around this?
Cheers, Jeff
