Sweet Mix: This mix contains some spectacular sweet corn landraces and varieties. A large range of color is present, as well as some with chinmark characteristics. I think more reds and blues are in this mix than there were last year.
Coastal Sweet Mix: This colorful and early sweet corn was produced under our Farmer Support Program. Shea Burns and Blair Bellis of Nye Ranch selected this corn (Astronomy Domine) to thrive in their challenging maritime environment. Try this corn in any cool summer, or short season climate.
Grain Mix: This is a beautiful mix of different landraces and varieties of corn. You will find kernel sizes ranging from small to large, short and round to long and pointy, red kernels, blue kernels, yellow kernels, white kernels, and all colors between. Due to low popcorn contributions, this mix will also contain popcorn, as well as the usual dent, flint, and flour kernel types. You will undoubtedly find something in this mix that will thrive in your conditions.
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.
