Ep. 42 Inside the Seed Farmer Mentorship

Here’s a peek inside the Seed Farmer Mentorship—a guided learning experience I’ve created to help growers build the skills, systems, and confidence to produce high-quality seed on their farms. This winter, I’ll be hosting the mentorship for the second time, and I’m excited to guide a new group of growers through hands-on learning, practical tools, and a season of intentional seed projects.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Who the Seed Farmer Mentorship is for – both new and experienced seed growers

• How the mentorship combines pre-recorded videos with interactive live sessions

• What past participants have gained from the program, including skills, confidence, and inspiration

• The value of learning alongside a community of seed growers and sharing experiences

• How this mentorship can help you take your seed projects to the next level

Here are the 7 modules we cover in the mentorship:

1 – Seed Basics & Choose Your Seed Crops

2 – Recording Keeping For Seed Harvest & Cleaning

3 – Germination Tests, Seed Storage & Inventory Management

4 – Crop Planning & Growing Seeds On A Market Garden

5 – Plant Selection & On Farm Plant Breeding

6 – Sharing & Selling Seeds

7 – Seed Harvest & Cleaning Techniques

Registration for the winter cohort is now open. If you’ve ever wanted to grow seed more intentionally and connect with other growers, this is your chance to get started.
