The Two Ranges of Kokopelli Seeds:
From the start of 2003, Association Kokopelli
is proposing a different modus operandi. In effect, the number
of ancient varieties that we wish to protect and bring back
into production is increasing year by year. Moreover, our
members want to be much more directly involved in the life
of the Association producing seed in their own family gardens
in order to assist our dynamic of protecting bio-diversity.
To this end we are offering two ranges of seed:
- The "Boutique" range, offering
all the species of garden vegetable plants with a diverse
selection of varieties within each species : 200 varieties
of Tomatoes, 80 varieties of Squashes, 100 varieties of
Peppers, etc...
The price of these packets will be £2.00 ( £1.80
to Members of the Association).
The seeds within this range are all produced by professional
growers in organic agriculture, all of whom are certified
by one of the recognised certifying bodies. The packets
will be certified by Soil Association, by Ulase, and by
Nature et Progrès.
- The "Collectors" range, offering
hundreds, thousands even, of varieties that are little grown,
little known and in many cases on the brink of extinction.
These packets will be available free to all those members
within the "Activist" and "Benefactor"
categories, and also to those "Supporters" who
are very involved in seed production.
These seeds in the "Collectors" range will in
the medium term be produced by the members themselves, and
always employing organic methods of gardening. In the short
term, however, our professional growers will equally be
involved in this production in order to breathe life into
this dynamic.
The complete list of available varieties
in the "Boutique" range is available from Chris
Baur at Ripple Farm, or from the online seed shop. (link to
seed shop) The complete list of the "Collectors"
range will be available to Members directly from Association
Kokopelli in Ales in France.
