Doors open to the public at 10 am! Please don’t come early as we will still be busy setting up!
Admission is by donation. Your donations directly support KASSI (Kingston Area Seed System Initiative) (seedsgrowfood.org) and Ratinenhyen:thos and the Kenhteke Seed Sanctuary and Learning Centre (kenhtekeseedsanctuary.com)
As always the main attraction will be the Seed Swap table. Please bring seeds for native plants, shrubs and trees and vegetable and flower seeds that you have saved in individual packets. Label your seed packets with the variety, year harvested, number of seeds in the packet and any other information that could be helpful to other growers and seed savers.
Seeds from the Seed Swap Table will be available by donation if you don’t have any to share yet!
Purchase seeds from local vendors.
Climate-resilient, locally adapted seeds from the KASSI Living Seed Commons will be available by donation.
Find out how Ratinenhyen:thos and the Kenhteke Seed Sanctuary and Learning Centre and KASSI (Kingston Area Seed System Initiative) are learning with and from the seeds in their care.
Other community groups will be on hand to answer your questions about all things seedy and beyond.
Workshops will be announced soon!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Let’s get the word out! Please copy the poster and share it widely. Thank you!

GROW YOUR OWN FOOD AND SEED!
KASSI (the Kingston Area Seed System Initiative) is a non-profit organization committed to helping everyone grow their own food and seed. Together we can build regional climate resilience by:
- being part of a community of confident, enthusiastic and skilled seed savers
- growing and sharing climate-resilient, locally adapted, non-hybrid/non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds from the KASSI Living Seed Commons
- supporting the development of a vibrant sustainable network of local ecological growers producing local food and local seed that can be legally grown, saved and shared
Local seed is the foundation of local food systems. The simple act of seed saving is a way to connect with your food and your community. It is also a major act of resistance and social empowerment.
We trust that you find the peace and joy that comes from growing seeds and connecting with the Earth now and always.
