Doing seed work makes me so happy.
A "local" group is hosting some seed-growing mentorships this year, starting mid-May. It's supposed to run from seed to seed, eg putting the seed in the ground to harvest and cleaning. If I land in mid-June...
https://farmfolkcityfolk.ca/bc-seed-security-program/bc-seed-mentorship-program/
This program aims to:
Introduce new farmers and seed growers to basic vegetable seed growing concepts
Offer guidance to new seed growers as they plan & manage their vegetable seed crops
Offer in-field experience handling crops allocated for seed production
Offer advice on growing, harvesting, & processing seeds for sale, trade, & personal use
Build confidence in new seed growers
Strengthen BC’s network of seed growers, mentors, and sustainable agriculturalists
Connect new seed growers and mentees with each other and other growers throughout BC
Identify and engage experienced and new seed growers throughout BC
I could just... apply.
Not sure how landracing is going to fit into this, I suspect it will be an uphill battle, but I also think some diverse seed populations could be useful up here.
Edited to add "Please note some program requirements: 1. You must have two or more years of vegetable farming or intensive vegetable growing experience" and "Priority will be given (but not limited) to applicants who are new entrants into agriculture," are contradictory, right?
