10-Year Anniversary
The Bauta Family Initiative was launched in 2013 to support Canadian farmers to increase the quality, quantity, and diversity of seeds they save, adapt, and breed. We're celebrating our 10-year anniversary by sharing stories about the incredible work that has been happening in our seed movement, thanks to the ingenuity, commitment, and passion of farmers who care about seed.

grow out seeds
Growing out seed crops means seeing their full life cycle - from seed to seed. A seed grow-out tells you what varieties perform well in organic settings, it can be a tool for seed conservation, and a great way to learn the craft.
