Do we expect a freshly sown tomato seed to offer us a tomato sandwich that same afternoon?

Tomatoes unapologetically seek the sun to receive what they need and Friends, what if our needs felt this fruitful?

If you have a need for seeds and transplants as well as community and cultivating culture that normalizes sharing more than selling...
..would you be willing to consider this is a gift in my life?

And I have a need to grow seeds and...
..not hoard them...
..and would you be willing to consider this a gift in your life?

Needs are gifts and come, join us, there’s room for you here 🌈

As with all our Gift of Seed offerings, arrive and leave as you need and know our 2-hour practice is a vessel for building and transformation together, so come early and stay late, as brings ease and joy 🌻

And 🍓

Endless oceans of thanks to the people and seeds who have already moved in these practices together, for weeks and for generations:

We are re-membering and reimagining the world together…

…and what a gift 🍐

Come early & stay late, think community ceremonial theater, not drop in seed swap:

🍆 Thurs, May 14 in Buffalo from 6 to 8 at 5 Loaves Farm

🥦 Friday, May 15 in Rochester 6:30 to 7:30 at the Public Market (not a Gift of Seed, drop in anytime!)

🌶️ Saturday, May 16 at Fruition from 1 to 3, wildflower & bird hike beyond the farm and potluck to follow

🥒 Tuesday, May 19 in Canandaigua from 6 to 8 at Eberhardt Center

🥕 Sat, May 23 in Rochester from noon to 3 at Greener Visions (not a Gift of Seed, drop in anytime!)

And stay tune for all manner of deliciousness on the farm all summer, Friends 🌽

I remember ✨

When I was young 🌱

My father and I were harvesting in our garden, friends coming soon for supper 🧺

I asked him which head of lettuce to harvest 🥬

He pointed to the largest, shiniest, most resplendent lettuce in our entire garden and I asked quizzically, ‘but Dad, that’s the best one…?’

‘Exactly,’ he said ✨

Let’s get back to that 🕊️

And Friends:

I’ll always be a lil embarrassed:

Who was I hoarding that lettuce for?

Why didn’t I want to share the most gorgeous head of lettuce in our garden with beloved friends?

Dad, I’ll always be thankful that you were there to remind me, as I so often forget, to this day:

We share the best of what we have with everyone we can 🍅

We share the best of what we have with everyone we can 🌈

We share the best of what we have with everyone we can ♥️

And Friends, we’ll be sharing our seeds, transplants, stories and songs for all the seasons yet that we have breath...
..and we’re sharing them in vast, ebullient abundance now through May 23rd, don’t be shy!

Hundreds of gorgeous tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillo plants...
..and our regionally adapted seeds in gorgeous packets...
...as well as in large bags, wide open for you to receive abundant seeds to gift your community through seed libraries, community gardens, schools and other ways we practice sharing in community 🫘

Come early & stay late, think community ceremonial theater, not drop in seed swap:

🍆 Thurs, May 14 in Buffalo from 6 to 8 at 5 Loaves Farm

🥦 Friday, May 15 in Rochester 6:30 to 7:30 at the Public Market (not a Gift of Seed, drop in anytime!)

🌶️ Saturday, May 16 at Fruition from 1 to 3, wildflower & bird hike beyond the farm and potluck to follow

🥒 Tuesday, May 19 in Canandaigua from 6 to 8 at Eberhardt Center

🥕 Sat, May 23 in Rochester from noon to 3 at Greener Visions (not a Gift of Seed, drop in anytime!)

And stay tune for all manner of deliciousness on the farm all summer, Friends 🌽

As we remember all the seeds germinating in dark soil...
..and so many people we love surviving these dark times...
..we are even more humbled and grateful for the sunshine that is in each seed and each of us ✨

What a joy to have gifted so many seeds far and wide this winter and spring!

And Friends, we’re so grateful we’ve still a couple more weeks of sharing seeds & transplants across western New York, don’t be shy 🌱

If you’d love to come visit this summer, please do 🌻

“…but surely someone needs this more than me?”

One of my favorite moments of Fruition’s first annual bulk seed gifting gathering, sharing seeds with seed libraries and community gardens, schools & so many other flavors of mutual aid, was the moment when someone whispered in my ear:

“Are you afraid people will take more than they need?”

“Ohhhhh, listen!” I said. “Our beloved friend and mentor Adam Wilson taught us to listen for a phrase people often say, when offered a gift — something not needing to earned, bought, bartered or otherwise controlled:

“…but surely someone needs this more than me?”

And sure enough, he reported a lil more than an hour later that he needed more than two hands to count how many times he had heard gracious paraphrases spoken aloud around those long, seed-laden tables 🌿

And Friends, we’ve heard it innumerable times across countless circumstances and this is among the reasons why we haven’t given up on our species yet:

“…but surely someone needs this more than me?”

The words of a heart keeping other hearts in mind. A life whose life is intertwined with all life. A person choosing connection and care often over perhaps even their own comfort:

“…but surely someone needs this more than me?”

Can you imagine hearing these words walking down a grocery store aisle? Especially when something is on sale?

These words are deeper in our bones than the need for dollars:

“…but surely someone needs this more than me?”

When will you hear these words next? How will your actions inspire them in little ways and large?

May! Day!

And Friends:

Thank you for knowing we sow the future with every seed, breath & thought we think ✨

Which is why authoritarians have no chance of controlling cultures of caring, connected gardeners...
..and this is why we grow and gift seeds:

seeds are gifts 🌿

gifts of the earth 🌏

for all generations yet to come 🌳

growing beyond empire’s domination imagination 🌈

We’re gifting seeds in so many ways this month, so see you soon, Fellow & Beloved Sowers of New Worlds, near and far 🪺

Thank you, Friends 💛

To everyone who joined us in body as well as spirit ✨

Last week, over 70 people gathered

to receive the gift of seeds

to gift seed libraries, community gardens, schools and mutual aid networks across the northeast and beyond 🌱

For three days we fed each other at long tables Saturday those long tables hosted a Seed Feast like no other:

Fruition’s first annual bulk seed gifting gathering shared with 100+ bags, jars and 10-gallon totes (!) full of seeds bursting open, like so many hearts 🌻

Take a deep breath and imagine

can you feel?

all these people

bringing all these seeds

to so many communities, large and small

near and far

and can I tell you?

It was such balm for our souls: rather than the frenetic feeding frenzy that can so easily descend like hungry hyenas on seed ‘swaps’ and other spaces where “things” are deemed ‘free,’

the respect

the listening

the slow, deep connection

the love

so audible in our ears

here in our hands

being poured, as seeds, into countless bags:

have you ever seen so much love so

visible?

We do this til we feed & free us 🌽

It’s true:

After 12 years of growing and selling seeds, we’re now growing and gifting seeds, following the lead of the seeds themselves, our 400 million year old mentors 🌱
