An introduction into completing the cycle of crops to seed in your own garden.  It will include practical examples of saving seed from most of our summer vegetable crops, drying, cleaning – storing seeds for future use.

ISSA exists as a living testimony of the richness and wealth of the agricultural legacy of our ancestors.
Our aim is to:
1) To protect, conserve, research and utilize non-commercial seed, grain, vegetable and fruit varieties.
2) To promote the benefits of agricultural biodiversity.
3) To provide information and to educate the public on agricultural biodiversity locally and globally.
4) To be a working example of successful organic seed and crop production, through growing and distributing Irish grown seed, grain, vegetable and fruit varieties.

Irish seed savers will, with our community subscribers, protect and keep alive open pollinated and non-commercially available vegetables and fruit which yield well in Ireland’s changing climate in order to ensure food security for the future. We will strengthen our knowledge and practical expertise through research, and we will teach and share with others how to produce organic food and seed in a sustainable way.
