How Baker Don Guerra Is Preserving Sonoran Heritage, One Bread Loaf at a Time - AFAR
"A nonprofit partner engaged in seed conservation and biodiversity efforts that collaborates with the bakery to preserve and promote ancient and heritage grains, supporting regional resilience and local food-system diversity." - Sara Button
I’ve never actually go to go here physically but I try to get my seeds here every year. This year I placed to separate orders back to back and a staff member named Linda noticed and combined my orders without even me asking. They returned one shipping fee. The mission and culture of this organization truly and wholly embodies what it means to be indigenous and the preservation of indigenous identity. I recommend them every year on social media and try to talk about the organization anytime I speak somewhere. Love to see them flourishing.

I remember sorting seeds with my mom at their table at the botanical gardens in the late 1980s. It's one of my first memories of Tucson. Great people, they care and they are so incredibly competent

Wonderful organization! The work they do is so important and everyone there is super lovely. I only wish there were volunteer hours on weekends, I had a wonderful time before my job changed my hours. Also, all the products they sell are amazing! The creosote sunscreen in particular is the only sunscreen I have ever found that doesn't give me hives- absolutely life-changing for me. I no longer have to wear long sleeves all summer!!

I love this company so much. Quality and integrity is present in everything they do. I’ve been purchasing seeds from them for as long as I can remember & they never disappoint. I just finally had to leave a review because look at these babies after 24 hours! Thank you again!

Native Seeds is a treasure house of goodies. Not only is it the best source of seeds adapted to our desert climate and native plants at their plant sales, but also a wonderful source for regionally made jams, flours, paintings, books and jewelry. A great place to find a gift.

Took a tour of the garden and learned how they keep their native seed collection growing and pure.
