Heirloom Vegetable Seeds

Jere Gettle from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds joins us to talk seeds, seed saving, and seed collecting.

He loves meeting gardeners, chefs, and farmers who share old seed varieties and the stories behind them.

Lifelong Passion for Heirloom Seeds

Gettle started his seed business as a teenager, with a 12-page photocopied price list.

Today, the seed company tests over 4,000 heirloom seed varieties each year.

Gettle says that for a variety to make the cut for the catalogue, he’s looking for 3 things:

• It’s beautiful
• It tastes great
• It grows well
