I breed landraces and keep heirloom varieties.

seeds marked landrace are intended for landrace gardeners and those who are looking to add genetic diversity to their landraces, or start a landrace of their own.

all of my landraces are highly variable and have been locally adapted to Airdrie Alberta, in zone 3. I have high clay, low fertility, alicaceous soil. I select for drought resistance more than disease resistance because we have very few diseases in my highly sterile environs. I also rarely experience any pest pressure to speak of, I don't even get squirrels.

I'll ship seeds anywhere in the world any time of the year.

all seeds have their own purchase link.
