Support Organic Seed · December 17, 2017

Will You Help Us Change the Way We Grow Food?

OSA's Jared Zystro teaches field day participants about tassel maturity of dry-farmed sweet corn growing in the College of the Redwoods research field. This research will result in organic sweet corn well-suited for dry farming.

All of us at OSA are grateful for your support this year, whether you attended one of our field days or workshops, benefited from our seed publications or webinars, or advocated for seed policies that advance organic seed and the farmers who grow it. Thank you for being a part of the work we do.

With each farmer we train to steward and adapt seed, with each plant variety we improve, with each policy position we take to defend seed sovereignty, we move closer to our goal of a resilient food system built on a foundation of organic seed grown. It’s hard work, and we don’t do it alone.

Today we are asking you to join us in this effort by donation to OSA during our annual appeal, our one independent fundraising campaign of the year, which is vital to sustaining our mission. We are a small organization, but with your support, we can make a big impact. Together we can broaden OSA’s reach and meet farmers’ needs for sustainable seed wherever they arise. Please plant the seed of action and DONATE to OSA today. Need more inspiration? Watch a 30 second video of what we do. 

In these troubled times, we need OSA’s work now more than ever because they are cultivating diversity and health in our seeds, and seeds are the foundation of life on earth.
