The Ecotype Project has created a model for native plants material development utilizing the ecoregional framework to ensure we are- planting the right plants in the right place. The truly local seed supply chain begins with trained botanists that wild-collect ecotypic seed, which is grown out as a specialty crop by organic farmers in founder plots, then cleaned and made commercially available to our nursery partners & by our farmer-led seed collective: Eco59.
The initiative’s intention is to repair local seed sheds to collectively re-wild the fragmented landscapes- by fortifying the living seed banks- the soils, of our shared ecological corridors.
Cost: $25
