Welcome to a special crossover edition of the Seed Farmer Podcast!

I am thrilled to share an episode from the Seed Heads podcast published by the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security.

This episode features Steph Benoit in conversation with Rav Singh and Ekow Stone. In this episode they get into their farming and seed work. They also talk about an okra breeding project they are both working on.

Enjoy the episode!

Chris Sanford runs Yonder Hill Farm with Garrett Lauten on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Her seed journey is deeply anchored in a commitment to regional resilience from working to preserve the local Tancook Island Cabbage to breeding and establishing hardy hazelnut, chestnut, and walnut orchards.

In this episode, Chris shares the logistics of running a small-scale seed farm. We talk about how having backburner crops lets you adapt to the natural rhythms of the farm.Chris reflects on the power of community seed partnerships, highlighting how seed producers can work directly with market gardeners to stabilize and select regional strains.

In the deep dive, Chris and I get into growing eggplant seed. We break down how to plan your fruit harvest and seed extraction to get great germination. And we talk about why patience is a virtue for eggplants.

Enjoy the conversation!
