Exciting New Projects: Growing Quinoa & Fava Beans, Partnering with Landrace, and More!
At our farm, we’re always striving to grow not only the most flavorful and nourishing produce, but also to contribute to the broader seed-growing community. This spring, we’re thrilled to share some exciting developments, including our involvement with Going to Seed adaptation gardening, and collaborations with the Foundroot family in Alaska. Plus, we're gearing up for a great time at the Boise Flower and Garden Show!
Growing Quinoa and Fava Beans from Seed
One of our most exciting new ventures this year is growing quinoa and fava beans from seed. Both of these crops have unique needs and challenges, but we’re ready to take them on. Quinoa, a resilient and nutritious grain, is becoming an increasingly important crop in sustainable agriculture, and we’re excited to be among the growers experimenting with it in our climate. Fava beans, on the other hand, are not only delicious but also great for soil health, enriching the ground with nitrogen. These two crops will help us diversify our farm, while contributing to the broader agricultural ecosystem.
Partnering with the Landrace Project for Going to Seed
We’re also incredibly proud to be partnering with the Landrace Project for the Going to Seed initiative. The Landrace Project is all about preserving, growing, and developing open-pollinated seeds that are adapted to local growing conditions. By collaborating with them, we’re contributing to the preservation of diverse genetic materials and the strengthening of resilient, regionally adapted seed varieties. This initiative is about building a strong seed-growing network that focuses on biodiversity and sustainability, and we’re honored to play a part.
Working with the Foundroot Family in Alaska
Our commitment to seed preservation extends beyond our own farm. We’re currently in communication with the Foundroot family in Alaska, hoping to collaborate with them to grow seeds for their farm. The Foundroot family has a deep commitment to producing high-quality seeds, and we’re excited to help expand their offerings by growing some of their crops here. The diversity of climates and ecosystems between our farm and theirs creates an exciting opportunity to exchange knowledge and contribute to a greater collective effort in building a resilient seed network.
Boise Flower and Garden Show with Snake River Seed Co-Op
Finally, we’re gearing up for the Boise Flower and Garden Show, where we’ll be teaming up with our friends from Snake River Seed Co-Op to share our passion for seeds and sustainable agriculture. It’s always a pleasure to connect with other farmers, gardeners, and enthusiasts at this event, and we look forward to sharing our experiences and knowledge with the community. Our booth will feature an array of locally grown seeds, including our latest additions, and we’ll be definitely be talking about any and everything plants!
We’re so excited about the direction our farm is heading, and we can’t wait to share more updates as these projects unfold. From growing quinoa and fava beans to collaborating with incredible seed-saving organizations and meeting fellow enthusiasts at the garden show, there’s a lot to look forward to in the months ahead.
Thanks for following our journey, and we hope to see you soon!
