Barley
Barley
This is a mix of several barley varieties and barley mixes. A large barley spectrum is here. There are six-row, two-row, purple, tan, gold, blue, and brown seeds in this mix. Most are Hordeum vulgare, but a few are also from Oregon State University's Naked Barley Blend which features progeny from interspecific hybrids. The mix is primarily hulless, but a few are resistant to letting go of their hull. Fall planting recommended, unless you live somewhere with snow cover most of the winter.
Packets contain approximately 100 seeds.

Our mission is to make diverse seeds available to everyone. Although the seeds are free, you will need to pay for shipping. In addition, we ask you to consider making a donation to cover program costs. This allows us to make seed free for those who need it.

Seeds will ship within a week of ordering. This program is run by dedicated and hardworking volunteers. Going to Seed is not a seed company. You may receive packages that have less than the stated number of seeds, germination rates may not meet the federal standards, shipping may be slower than you prefer, or there may be any other number of unanticipated glitches. Please be patient with us as we improve the standards over time.

About the Seed Steward
Hi, I'm Lowell. I live in North Florida where summers are rainy, hot, and humid, with high bug pressure. These conditions are a challenge for many crops, so I turned to the growing styles of adaptation agriculture and natural farming. I view the results of these styles as a journey in abundance and diversity -- the myriad ways in which the world expresses itself -- and enjoy saving seeds from a variety of crops, with a focus on dry legumes and grains.
