Utopian Seed Project
The Utopian Seed Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit, founded in November 2018 with the support of Sow True Seed to explore and promote regional agrobiodiversity in Western NC. We work on the farm side and the consumer side to ensure high impact and lasting change. Our hands in the earth work at the Experimental Farm(s) focuses on a range of crop and variety trials, seed work, and supporting a WNC Seed Growers Collective. We use this work to inspire, educate and celebrate diversity in food and farming through our outreach initiatives like Crop Stories and Trial to Table dinners. The ultimate vision is an engaged community of growers, gardeners, farmers, foodies, cooks and chefs (actually, everyone) who embrace regional biodiversity because they understand and believe in a resilient, delicious and equitable food and farming system.
