Native Seedssouthwestern Endangered

Native seeds/search (ns/s) was founded in 1983 in response to the documented and probable loss of traditional agricultural crop diversity of the u.S. southwest and northwest mexico. the seed that ns/s stewards includes traditional varieties of corn, beans, and squash, as well as herbs and wild foods long consumed in the area. each crop variety in the ns/s seed bank has been genetically adapting to arid soils and conditions for hundreds, or even thousands, of years. seeds are made available to the public through the online store and through our free seed access programs. more than 25,000 seed packets were donated via these programs last year to indigenous families and community groups working toward fresh food access, food security, and gardening and agricultural education.
