Spring Gardners Might Run Into Seed Shortages Amid the Pandemic | Eater

"A New York–based seller of heirloom and open-pollinated varieties, notable for the artwork that adorns its seed packets, has seen demand surge well ahead of the usual spring peak. To prevent overselling and shorten long delays experienced last year, the team converted to a new inventory system that tracks packed seed and improved turnaround to roughly three to seven business days from the multi-week waits previously. Leadership sees the sustained interest as more than a temporary spike and an indicator of potential social change around home food production." - Lisa Held
