SEED FAMILIES

KC Health Initiative

Seed Families are small collections of easy-to-grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers that naturally protect and nourish one another. Each bundle of seeds and growing tips supports a household to create a kitchen garden that strengthens household nutrition while honoring the Earth’s wisdom. In partnership with KC Health Initiative, these bundles reconnect people to the healing rhythm of soil, food, and community care.

what's your favorite?

These packets are made by request only, but once it's requested, we maake it happen! So tell us!

​

Because there are so many people in need of a fresh growing practice, and we are only a few people, we rely on your ideas to let us know what collections to assemble.

​

Help our understanding of "what people want to grow." Use the tastes you love to build a bundle.

YOUR FAVORITE MEAL CAN HELP MAKE NEW SEED FAMILIES!

We only produce seed families requested by actual people who want to grow a new family of cooperating plants. People who have an actual kitchen garden or who have a plan to grow food, herbs, and flowers all together in the coming months.


And since you are one of those actual people, we'd be glad to put together a Seed Family packet influenced by you and the way your family eats foods made from part of a plant. Because really, your food tastes are linked to all your relatives who came before you, and they chose those foods because they're good for you.


So, what kind of food-growing plant would you like to try out to see if it can produce something yummy in a spot of dirt?


Or are there plants that you remember growing together in a relative's food garden growing up? That information is like gold to the rest of humanity, and we want to help more people know that wisdom.


If the seeds can be found, and your idea is developed into a complete new offering, we'll give your new Seed Family bundle to you for free. It's the least we can do to thank you for your ancestor-connected gift!

Yes, we fully plan on tracking that kind of seed down.

The multiplying difference:

It's healing to feel thankful so greatly that you want to give what you can of what you have. That's the way healthy communities roll.

 

Sharing is healing for community changemakers, and healing for you. And this "giving-back and getting-boosted" 2-way street runs all year.

​

Be a blessing to others, and discover unexpected returns that thrive and grow outside of the monetary value system.
