Ratinenhayén:thos is hosting a seed saving event, Seed to Seed, for a day of knowledge-sharing inspired by long-held Rotinonhsyón:ni (Six Nations) agricultural and seed-saving traditions on Saturday, November 23rd, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mohawk Community Centre in Deseronto (1807 York Rd).
Seedkeepers Terrylynn Brant and Steve McComber, and Chef Tawnya Brant will talk about seed saving as food sovereignty, selecting seed in a changing climate, and cooking with seed. We will also share a delicious seed to table meal and end the day with a seed swap.
This event includes sessions about:
-
-
- Things to consider when selecting seed to save
- How to avoid cross pollination and keep seed pure
- Choosing varieties of corn for shorter growing seasons
- Panel discussion on challenges and adaptations for growing in a changing climate
- Breakout discussions and information sharing on experiences this growing season
-
This event is for youth, farmers, hobby gardeners, foodies, and anyone who wants to learn more about seed saving and feeding ourselves through a modern Indigenous lens.
