As the 2025 Organic Seed Growers Conference approaches, we are excited to unveil this year’s theme: “Weaving Visions of Organic Seed Communities.” This theme was inspired by thoughtful discussions with our planning committee, drawing on the diverse threads of the organic seed movement. Each seed steward, grower, and advocate brings a unique perspective and practice to our collective work of cultivating sustainable, regenerative seed and food systems.

Organic Seed Alliance is pleased to invite the food and farming community of the Olympic Peninsula and neighboring counties to our local meet up. At this winter’s gathering, Dr. Micaela Colley, OSA’s former Research and Education co-director, will share histories and stories of some of the plant breeding projects that she co-led in the organization over the past 20 years.

From Organicology: Taking place March 12-14, 2025 in Portland, Organicology brings together contributors, advocates and change-makers from across the organic trade to revolutionize food, agriculture and economic models for the better. Together we share our work, progress, and challenges, unearth possibilities and build the deep connections needed to grow the organic agriculture movement today and for an ever-improving future.
