In this inspiring episode, we explore the vital practice of seed saving in Idaho and how it’s transforming local communities through the passionate work of the Wood River Seed Library. Host David DeHaas sits down with Amy Mathews for an enlightening conversation on why saving seeds isn’t just a gardening hobby—it’s a powerful act of reclaiming food sovereignty, nurturing bioregional resilience, and building robust local food systems.

You’ll discover how heirloom seeds, adapted to Idaho’s unique climate and growing conditions, hold the key to long-term food security and ecological sustainability. Amy shares the mission of the Wood River Seed Library and how their work supports both new and seasoned gardeners in developing skills in seed harvesting, cleaning, storage, and viability—ensuring that open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds continue to thrive year after year.

We also dive into the importance of bioregional seed adaptation, a practice that ensures seeds are not only locally grown but also genetically resilient to regional pests, diseases, and climate variations. This approach empowers Idahoans to break their dependence on corporate seed companies and fosters a deeper connection to land, culture, and community resilience.

Whether you're a homesteader, small-scale farmer, or someone passionate about organic gardening and regenerative practices, this episode will equip you with valuable insights and practical steps to join the growing movement of seed savers in Idaho and beyond.

Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on heritage, sustainability, and the grassroots revival of seed stewardship that is quietly redefining agricultural independence across the Gem State.
