SEED Brown County

It all started with a seed donation from a local grower who passed away. In his honor, we decided to try to grow out some of the corn varieties he left behind. Thus started a quest to locate the elders, the growers, and the locals who are growing and saving seeds unique to BROWN COUNTY, Indiana. Since then, we have collected enough seeds which formed the Brown County Seed Lending Library which houses over 65 varieties of heirloom corn, bean, herbs, grains, native plants, wildflower seeds that have been grown or collected from our region.

We are searching for those people who are growing, who have knowledge or seeds, or who want to help continue this project.

We are wanting to collaborate with local Brown County groups such as: garden groups, herbalists, farmers, homesteaders, native plant society, etc. The list is endless.

We host annual Spring and Fall seed swaps, and host seed shares where seeds are given to the community for free. No seeds are ever needed to attend our events. Always a free service to the community.
