On Thursday, January 28 the Westport Farmers’ Market will celebrate 2021 by hosting our annual seed exchange in honor of National Seed Exchange day.
“Collecting, sharing, and growing seeds saved by our very own shoppers, farmers, and vendors – especially heirloom varieties – involves the community personally in the promotion of local food and flora,” said Lori Cochran-Dougall, executive director of the WFM. “This year more than ever we want to seed the year with love and health.”
The public is invited to bring seeds they have saved from their own gardens or simply take home a few saved by others. WFM farmers will donate seeds from their favorite crops for the community to try at home. All seeds except those of invasive species are welcome, however, the market is requesting people to bring and take home heirloom or organic varieties.
