Snake River Seed Cooperative is a collective of family farmers in the Intermountain West who work together to produce a wide diversity of regionally-adapted seeds. We believe that sharing seed-saving knowledge with farmers in our region is vital to growing a robust, regional seedshed. In January 2022 we transitioned to our current cooperative ownership model from a single-owner LLC model. We currently have 10 grower owners and 5 employee-owners and operate as a benefit corporation.
We work together to assist the seeds and their ecological collaborators by growing, saving, and sharing them.
We believe that each region should build a local seedshed that provides for their community.
We want farmers to be in control of what they grow, and we look to them for guidance on how to operate our co-op.
We actively seek out ways to be anti-racist and pursue anti-racist policies in our business and communities.
