McConnell Speckled Corn - from Fred Pierson of Virginia.
Dear Seed Savers Exchange Supporter,
Seed Savers Exchange began as a small operation, just a group of gardeners dedicated
to saving seeds. Like the seeds themselves, we’ve grown each year into something
stronger and more bountiful than the year before. We are now a recognized leader in the
heirloom and open-pollinated seed movement, thanks to the community of generous
supporters like you who have helped us to grow since 1975. This 2014 Annual Report
is solid proof of your important role in our continued growth.
Seed Savers Exchange is more committed than ever
to protecting and promoting heirloom seeds. From
growing out seeds in the field to quality testing in the lab,
Seed Savers Exchange has the professional expertise to
properly preserve and share our precious collection. Our
educational and outreach efforts bring these seeds to the
next generation of seed savers through the Community
Seed Resource Program and our Herman’s Garden Seed
Donation Program.
Please join Seed Savers Exchange in celebrating another
wonderful year with our community of supporters –
members, gardeners, volunteers, and donors – people
like you. We have confidence that with your continued
support our progress will be even more remarkable in the
years to come.
I truly appreciate your many contributions and I
understand just how much each little bit helps. The board
of directors joins me in thanking you for supporting our
important work.
With sincere appreciation,
Diane Ott Whealy

Online Seed Exchange
Upgrades and Improvements
The second phase of a major project to improve
the scope, function, and significance of the Online
Seed Exchange is complete. Thanks to generous
support from The 1772 Foundation and the
UNFI Foundation, Seed Savers Exchange was able
to incorporate new functionality into individual
plant variety pages. The Online Seed Exchange
is a place for Seed Savers Exchange members to
request or post varieties to share with other growers.
The new “Share a Story” and “Share a Recipe”
buttons allow space to tell the history, describe ideal
growing conditions, and even share family recipes
for each variety.
The Exchange connects gardeners from all
over the United States and provides grower
contact information for over 16,000 varieties.
The seeds pictured above were sent with
handwritten notes from the grower.

Community Seed Resource Program
The Community Seed Resource Program (CSRP) was launched in 2013 by Seed
Matters, with Seed Savers Exchange partnering with the project in 2014. The program
provides toolkits, resources, and mentorship to seed libraries, community gardens, and
other seed-focused initiatives. In 2014, over 100 community groups from 33 states were
welcomed into the CSRP network. The CSRP will continue to grow in 2015 and is now
accepting applications year-round.
Arlene Peterson, a new CSRP participant, said this about the program: “We were so
excited to receive the CSRP toolkit yesterday. I just had to write to thank you all at Seed
Savers. Your work, resources, and tools are greatly appreciated. [These resources] will
give us a great starting point for our first community
seed Exchange
swap.” 2014 Annual Report

Sharing the Stories of Seeds
A $30,000 Innovation Grant from The 1772
Foundation allowed SSE to hire an assistant
seed historian to document the histories of
the varieties in our collection that originated
from commercial seed companies. This research
is part of SSE’s ongoing work to document
the story of each variety in the collection, the
Collection Origins Research Effort (CORE).
Thanks to the CORE program, SSE’s seed
historians can seek out the stories that
illuminate each variety in the collection, such as
the story of ‘Grandpa Miller’ potato.

Grandpa Miller’s potatoes, 1921

SSE completed
historic research
on the commercial
origins of
674
varieties from
six seed houses.

The ‘Grandpa Miller’ potato was added to the
collection at Seed Savers Exchange in 2014.
It was donated by Mike Green of Creswell,
Oregon. Mike grew the potato for years
and originally received it from his maternal
grandmother, Loris Mae (Miller) Borden. Young
Loris can be seen above, sitting with the giant
tubers in Ophir, Oregon, in 1921. The variety
was named after Loris’ grandfather, Willis Wiley
Miller, who moved to the Ophir area around
1880 to pan for gold. Mike claims his greatgreat-grandfather’s potatoes “are good keepers
and do well baked in the oven.”

Preserving the Collection
The Seed Savers Exchange Preservation
Department focuses on maintaining physical
inventory and information about the more than

20,000 plant varieties in the Heritage Farm
planted
Collection. The department stewards the seeds,
tubers, rhizomes, bulbs, and trees; plus historic
documents, stories, and evaluations that make
seeds
up the largest publicly accessible garden variety
collection in the United States. SSE staff adheres
to the highest standards of biological and cultural
preservation practices to ensure the future of the varieties
they tend. The goal is simple: inspire gardeners to
participate in the heirloom seed movement by growing,
sharing, and saving heritage varieties.

Making More Plants
SSE staff regenerated 665 varieties to produce
seeds and tubers for distribution to members
through the Yearbook. An additional 581
varieties were grown in order to document plant
characteristics such as height and size, color, and
days to maturity.

Evaluation Goes to College
The SSE Preservation Department has
joined Tennessee State University in
a project to promote careers in plant
breeding. Varieties from SSE’s Heritage
Farm Collection will be used to teach
young plant scientists to assess, select,
and breed specific plant traits. In the
process, the students will provide
SSE with invaluable data reflecting
the traits and genetic markers of:

Squash Cages
Squash production
trials were conducted
in four 18-by-50-foot
isolation cages, the
largest cages ever used
at Heritage Farm. By
growing squash in
“extra, extra-large cages”
and partnering with a
local honey bee keeper
to pollinate the crops,
healthier seeds were
harvested. Hundreds of
hours of manual labor
were saved that would
have otherwise been
spent hand-pollinating
the flowers. More cages
will be purchased in
coming years.

Listings Increase
SSE offered 2,579 varieties from
the Heritage Farm Collection to
our members through the Online
Seed Exchange, nearly 150 more
varieties than the previous year.
Staff fulfilled 797 requests for
seed, scion wood, and tubers for
members across the country.

Seeds Lost, Seeds Found
Forty new accessions were welcomed into
the Heritage Farm Collection, along with
their stories. Of these, 37 are recognized
heirlooms, the highest-priority designation
in the collection. These varieties have
since been grown to produce seeds for
distribution and will be available to
members in 2016. See highlights below:
‘Ukrainian Pole’ bean –
William Mihovan brought
this stunningly beautiful
purple and white bean to the
U.S. from Ukraine in 1927.
40
new accessions
added to the
Heritage Farm
Collection
‘Walter Buhr’ pea –
A Buhr family heirloom
since 1928, seed was passed
from father to son in 1977.
When Walter’s son lost his
seed in 2008, he thought
the whole variety was gone.
Unbeknownst to him, his
father had also passed the
pea seed to a nephew. The
family seed lived on and is
now safe in the Heritage
Farm Collection.

Off-Site Events
The SSE Heritage Apple Tour was featured at the Mill City
Farmers Market in Minneapolis, MN in October. Farmers market
shoppers sampled 50 apple varieties from Heritage Farm as well
as several apple appetizers prepared by Minneapolis chef Beth
Dooley.
The SSE Tomato Tasting Festival also hit the road and traveled
to the Tiny Diner in Minneapolis. Twin City area growers were
provided with tomato transplants early in the year and invited to
share their bounty at the event. Crowds enjoyed tasting a variety
of fresh, locally grown, heirloom tomatoes. Participating farmers
proudly stood behind their produce and were available to answer
questions about their farming practices and their experience
growing each variety, as seen below.
