Entire production uses organic or non-GMO inputs where possible. Dabble in breeding, but have been saving seed for 20 years. Have been a part of SSE, GSN, and brought seed to SESE. Am on the board of the North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX) and NA Pawpaw Growers Assn (NAPGA), I save pawpaw seed and sell seed, trees, and fruit in season.
