关于我们
Mission Our mission is to cultivate, research, and celebrate resiliency in food and farming via crop diversity. Through innovative practices, education, and collaboration, we aim to build a thriving culture of seed sovereignty and agrobiodiversity. Vision Our vision is a regional community connected by resilient, diverse, and delicious foodways. We imagine an abundant and equitable ecosystem, rich in reciprocal relations of seed, land, and people. Core Values Innovation with Purpose: With a deep concern about climate chaos, we approach our work with a commitment to exploring new possibilities and solutions that enhance agrobiodiversity. Collaboration and Connection: We are committed to fostering relationships that connect communities, ideas, and practices. Understanding that agrobiodiversity includes human and non-human life. Transparency and Clarity: We strive to be open and honest in all we do, ensuring our processes and outcomes are accessible and understandable. Adaptability and Resilience: In the face of future uncertainty, we understand flexibility is essential. We embrace change and adapt to challenges. Empowerment through Knowledge: We believe in community science, and are committed to sharing what we know, while holding space to learn from others.

It was an honor to join UJAMAA SEEDS and The Utopian Seed Project on their oral history visits around WNC! I had the honor of introducing folks to Highlander Research and Education Center and we visited APPALACHIAN INSTITUTE FOR MOUNTAIN STUDIES INC with Jim Veteto and Cherokee elder and seed guardian Ms. Amy Walker to work with beautiful ancestral corn. Looking forward to the important relationships and ongoing oral histories of this project!

This year we've been growing Ultracross okra - an open-pollinated hybrid created by The Utopian Seed Project. It's the combination of more than 100 varietals of okra, selected specifically for adaptability and resiliency in the face of a changing climate. It's a fascinating project - you can read more here: https://lnkd.in/gtRjTR2i Learn more about it on August 14th - the USP's executive director, Chris Smith, will be at the Container Barn to share the story of Ultracross, and present updates about Ultracross 2.0! To put these okra pods to the test, Adé Carrena from Dounou Cuisine will be preparing some of the Ultracross okra from our garden, highlighting the variability within the harvest to the advantage of her creative expression (and our taste buds). Register here to join us! https://lnkd.in/eQ7ZbHJb
