A True Seed Bank - People/Events - Small Farmer's Journal

Jan 30, 2025 | smallfarmersjournal.com | Lynn Miller

by Lynn R. Miller of Singing Horse RanchOn a business trip to Petaluma, California, last fall, I visited the new Baker Creek Heirloom Seed store aptly carrying the sign “SEED BANK.” Baker Creek Seeds, doing business out of Missouri, has added the west coast store and chose an abandoned bank building for its 2nd retail setting. Displaying over 2,500 varieties of seeds, and an assortment of handtools and books, the store is a visual and gardening treat.

by Lynn R. Millerphotos by Kristi Gilman-MillerIf you were there you might have a good sense of the entire event… but then again you might not. I was there, from the beginning on throughout and I can’t tell you first hand what all occurred. A lot of people showed up, things were happening in every corner of the lovely old fairgrounds pretty much non-stop.

avoiding the extinction of resiliencyby Lynn MillerI was ten or eleven when my father finally agreed to let me go to work with him. Man, was I excited. He was a real life hero to me; big man with lunch bucket, thermos, and heavy tool belt. Powerful in every respect. He knew things, was intrigued with little details that went into his pouch of truths; details that proved the points – that added up to the sum total of life. His knowledge made him powerful to me.

by Paul Schmit of LuxembourgIn today’s times, people can exchange information within seconds worldwide. Nevertheless, all the modern digital communication channels cannot prevent something valuable from being lost, the knowledge and skills from earlier times, if the practicing in real life situations is missing. This also counts for the innumerable work horse harness variants that were originally adapted to the prevailing working conditions in the different places around the globe.

by Ryan Foxley of Arlington, WASpring is in the AirThis morning dawned clear. Finally. It’s been nothing but misery for days, with frost, clouds, wind, rain, hail, more rain, rain blowing sideways, and a bone chilling chill that I just can’t shake. Just when I was sure that winter would never give up its grip, the tempests finally blew out overnight. This morning all of creation was making a joyful noise.
Wildflower Meadow - How-To & Plans - Small Farmer's Journal

Aug 27, 2024 | smallfarmersjournal.com | Stuart Harrison

by Stuart Harrison of Devon, UKAs a boy, I clearly remember the blaze of wildflowers in the hay fields across from the railway line, a place where a few of my school chums and I would ride our bicycles to and earn a little extra pocket money helping out during hay making. To us, the hay meadows seemed constant and unremarkable despite their splendor; they were the backdrop to our school free summers, there on the chalk downland of Sussex in the early 1970’s.

Aug 23, 2024 | smallfarmersjournal.com | Lynn Miller |Hilary Cox |Neil Diboll

by Neil Diboll & Hilary Coxbook review by Lynn R. MillerI read an article a while back in the New York Times about folks selling seeds of wild prairie plants. Neil Diboll has been president and head ecologist of Prairie Nursery, Inc. for over forty years and as I listened to him speak about prairie restoration I felt compelled, on impulse, to purchase a new reference book he did in concert with Hilary Cox. When the book arrived I was thunder struck.
