Today I had the pleasure of presenting Itty Bitty Seeds at the May meeting of the Creston Valley Food Action Coalition. This is the group that organizes the Harvest Share program, Creston Farm Fresh Guide, and now the Farmer's Market. This is the place for information on the grain CSA's as well. Their website is new and already chockful of handy information. If you want to learn about the Community Greenhouse, Garden Club, or even the Herbal Society this is the site to see. It is great to see all of these producers and other stakeholders working together promoting local food and local agriculture.
I took the seeds that I had remaining as well as our extra tomato transplants to sell or barter with. Everyone was very supportive ~ Thanks guys!!!

Introducing Itty Bitty Seeds
Welcome to Itty Bitty Seeds! We're glad you are able to join us here.
About Us...
We started off as market gardeners sending off massive seed orders each year to supply our needs. We tried to find a local seed supplier, 100 mile seeds anyone?? We didn't find one so we took the plunge and started saving our own. We went from a linear year of purchase, grow, sell, and repeat to a more natural rhythm, from seed to seed and around again. Thus we are completing the natural growing cycle right at home.
We found that if you start growing enough seeds for a couple acres of market gardens it just snowballs until you are saving enough to supply others. It so very addicting!
Sustainability, genetic diversity, and natural growing practices are important to us. Gardening post-oil, skilling up for powering down, and just being self-sufficient within our community are some of our motivators. Enjoying what we do and meeting great people like you are our rewards.
