Welcome to Seed Stewards

Fostering connections between plants, people and our shared traditions!

Join Us on a Seed Stewards Exploration

Seed Stewards is a hub where we can consider the web of relations that have connected and sustained human and plant communities for time immemorial.

What are the stories carried by our seeds? 

What are the histories illuminated by our foods? 

How can we collectively tend to plants and seeds in order to amplify and grow our traditions?

This platform is a way to bring us together to learn, listen and strategize.

SHARE recipes, stories, memories with one another!

LEARN and NERD out about the interesting lives of your favorite crops !

CONTRIBUTE to a cultural memory bank!

BE INSPIRED by one another, our collective wisdom and resilience!

We believe that by recognizing the ways culture and plants inform each others’ evolutions, we can foster biodiversity, healthier ecosystems, and a more equitable food system.

Seed Stewards is a program of Second Generation Seeds. We are Asian American growers, inviting communities to lift up our narratives around cultural crops and their foodways.
