*Seed Sharing Protocol:*
1. Do not share seeds of invasive species! If you are not sure you can 
go to https://plants.usda.gov/java/noxious?rptType=State&statefips=15
2. Do not share brassica seeds as spread of blackrot can happen, it is a 
seed-borne disease and many of the seed companies are having a problem 
with this.
3. Do not share old seeds as germination may be low.
4. label or bring a description of each of the seeds you share including 
date of harvest.
5. Bring your own seed envelopes or baggies and markers for labeling.
6. Do not bring seeds and put them on another seed-sharers table unless 
you have a very good description of the seeds/date and crop and 
permission of the person at the table.

community, on our 24 acre organic permaculture farm. We integrate the 
social aspects of sustainability into daily life: how to live together 
with honesty, love and peace, and share power and leadership.  We do not
