🎉🎈🙌 Salt Spring Seeds Turns 40 Years Old! 🎉🎈🙌
Here at Seed Spirit Farm, this summer marks more than the usual seasonal delights: it is the 40th birthday of Salt Spring Seeds! 40 years ago, our seed man, Dan Jason, founded Salt Spring Seeds on our beautiful island. Inspired by the generosity of the plants he worked with, he took on the responsibility of stewarding hundreds of seed varieties. He has since come to know their stories and shared them far and wide. He's learned their ways - how each plant prefers to grow, express itself, and give its seed. How to cook each type of bean to perfection and find exactly the right screen for every seed. He has dutifully given his love to the seeds for many years, and they in turn have gifted him a life path full of meaning and beauty - the magic of which he shares willingly with everyone he meets.
We're certain that we speak for everyone when we say we're all profoundly grateful for the important work Dan has done over the last 40 years (and continues to do each day, as he has surely not stopped farming!). Through Salt Spring Seeds, Dan has inspired countless gardeners, farmers and many other folks to take up the empowering and sacred art of saving their own seeds, therefore preserving their own stories and gaining an understanding of this intricate and subtle yet powerful practice. He has donated seeds to countless projects and enabled many seed initiatives to take off.
Following the very nature of seeds themselves, he has spread a sense of abundance far and wide and sown ideas of a gentler and more generous paradigm in the hearts of many.
In honour of his work and philosophy, and to celebrate Salt Spring Seeds turning 40, we'd love to offer a 40% off sale on some of our favourite seed varieties! Check out our 40th Anniversary Sale on our website:
