Seed Treasures | Making It Up North
"In the remote wilderness of Northern Minnesota, just 90 miles from the Canadian border, Jackie and Will Atkinson are doing more than just gardening; they are preserving history. Living totally off-grid, this couple has dedicated their lives to rescuing ancient heirloom seeds from extinction.
From the Hopi Pale Gray squash that survived a warehouse fire to 1,500-year-old beans recovered from a sealed clay pot in a New Mexico ruin, every plant in their garden has a story. Join us for a tour of their homestead as Jackie and Will explain why they believe heirloom seeds are the key to food security, and how they’ve turned a passion for "growing history" into a thriving, cold-hardy seed business." from the video introduction
