Seed Savers Exchange preserves heirloom and open-pollinated seeds, plants, and the stories connected to them. Founded in 1975, the nonprofit maintains a diverse seed collection at Heritage Farm in Iowa and works with gardeners who help keep varieties growing. Its preservation approach combines seed banking with active cultivation, sharing, and regeneration. Through The Exchange, educational resources, events, and seed offerings, it connects people interested in protecting garden and food crop diversity. The organization encourages growers to learn seed-saving skills and pass varieties to future generations, helping safeguard cultural heritage and the genetic resources that support a resilient food supply.
