Eastern Native Seed Conservancy heirloom heritage tomato seeds
Description
The Conservancy is a non-profit, 501(c) 3 organization. We do everything with a very small and part-time staff and the help of our volunteers, particularly our participant growers. Our staff uses their own personal resources such as computers and their homes to give the organization much of its current infrastructure. We try to respond to all letters and phone calls but sometimes it takes a while. The Conservancy has a number of different projects currently underway.
The basis of the Conservancy's conservation agenda are two projects -- the CRESS Heirloom Seed Conservation Project, and the Native Seeds Project.
CRESS, stands for Conservation and Regional Exchange by Seed Savers. Since its inception in 1992, this program has been collecting and preserving cultivated food plants, -- germ plasm-- endemic or acclimated to this region. CRESS's main objective is to create and maintain a regional living seed bank. Heirloom seeds and plants from this and other regions are grown out annually, seed saved and replanted periodically in order to maintain each variety.
