If you care about your health, you probably choose organic foods whenever you can. Most people assume that label means clean, safe, and nourishing. The uncomfortable truth is that even organic food can carry things you would never knowingly choose to put into your body. Organic standards do not guarantee healthy soil. They do not protect against chemical drift from nearby farms. They do not account for water quality, long storage times, or how food is handled after harvest. By the time produce reaches the store, much of what made it nourishing can already be compromised. There is only one way to be completely sure what is in your food. Grow it yourself. (Here’s the literal guide to getting started!) | |
| |
Growing your own vegetables and herbs puts you back in control. You decide what goes into the soil, what touches the plants, and what never does. There is no guessing, no labels to interpret, and no compromises. This guide walks you through the essential foundations of growing clean, nutrient rich food in a way that works with nature and fits real life. When you download it, you will also receive free access to watch all eight episodes of the Joyful Gardener Docuseries Event for a limited time. Click here to access your guide and reserve your spot. | |
So thankful that you’re making an investment in your health, your life and yourself. Because health means everything, |

Jimi, Get seeds once, eat food for life. That's what seed saving is all about! Living in Asheville during Hurricane Helene, I've seen first-hand how vulnerable our food system is (more on that below). My experience has been a reminder that, at any given moment, we are always at risk for food insecurity. Thankfully, the answer is quite simple… and it’s worked for thousands of years. Are you ready to support and protect YOUR food supply by saving seeds? |
As always, registration is free. Plus, this year, all 8 classes are being offered pre-recorded and on-demand. That means that you can watch the classes anytime you want from the comfort of your own home. During the hurricane, my neighborhood didn't have internet or power for a week (and we were some of the lucky ones). We were high enough to be safe from flooding, but were cut off from the world around us since the roads to get anywhere else were closed. The community support and food we ate from our farm helped us to stay resilient and full. THIS is why we need seeds and seed knowledge! Right before the hurricane, I'd already planned to send the Extended Seed Up Saturday your way for free. Now, it feels more important than ever. Please share this with your friends, too. ANYONE might need this information one day. Here’s a quick glimpse of a few of the things you'll learn in 8 easy-to-digest classes: ➜ Start seed saving, even if you’ve never even tried it before ➜ Support your local food system with local seeds ➜ Increase the seeds in your community ➜ Host a simple seed event in your area ➜ Choose the right seeds (it’s not what you’d expect!) ➜ Know the truth behind seed-saving myths ➜ Store seeds so they’re ready to ‘grow’ whenever you need them Signing up for our Extended Seed Up Saturday is the best way to secure your food supply (plus, have fun and build community while doing it). |
Looking forward to helping you ‘skill up’ with Seed Up. |

PS - We've never offered any Seed Up Saturday on demand before. That means that, once you register for free, it will be yours to access whenever you want. But I urge you - don't wait! Register and watch the Extended Seed Up Saturday videos NOW so that you have this information for when you need it more. |
