Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance Inc.

The Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance is a nonprofit organization working to assure an abundant and diverse supply of local seeds for the Rocky Mountain region through education, networking, and establishing community-based models of seed stewardship. People are waking up to the vital importance of seeds, and a seed saving movement is growing around the world to revive this ancient practice. Through our programs, we help communities collect, preserve, and share their own unique and adapted seeds. Our programs focus on (1) educating people about seeds in local, organic food systems and (2) connecting communities to seeds and seed stewards. Specific programs include our Rocky Mountain Heritage Grain Trials Program (HGTP) helping to grow seeds and awareness of nearly 300 nutritionally and ecologically valuable grains and pseudo-grains now hard to find in the Mountain West's farms and marketplaces. Other programs include our Seed Stewards program that connects seeds and seed stewards regionally, our Seed and Grain Schools that help educate citizens about growing local seeds and grains for truly local food systems, and our Seed Teacher Training courses that help enable seed teachers to teach in communities all over the US and beyond.
