We’re excited to welcome Casey O’Leary, farmer, organizer, and founder of Snake River Seed Cooperative, for a live webinar on what it takes to build a regional seed movement.
Casey has helped transform a loose network of farmers into a functioning seed cooperative. She and two fellow Co-op growers - Kelly Kingsland with Affinity Farm in Moscow, Idaho, and James Loomis of Wasatch Community Gardens/Green Phoenix Farm in Salt Lake City - will join Spencer Suffling (Tanager Farm, OR) to talk about the realities of cooperative organizing, the challenges of integrating seed growing with vegetable growing, and why shared values regarding seed sovereignty and the local economy strengthen the co-op and the local community.
The interview will be followed by a Q&A session so bring your questions! If you can’t make it to the live webinar, send your questions to grow@goingtoseed.org and we’ll try to include them. A recording of the webinar will be posted on our Youtube channel.
When: Tuesday, December 2nd, 4 pm PT / 5pm MT / 7pm ET
Where: Live on Zoom (link sent after registration)

This event is for anyone who cares about seed justice, cooperative models, or just wants to know how one group of farmers is building a different kind of seed system—one grounded in relationship, resilience, and real community.
