Fukuoka's Grab Bag
Everything Else
Everything Else
he Fukuoka Grab Bag exists to honor the life and work of Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukuoka, who wrote One Straw Revolution, and Sowing Seeds in the Desert. Fukuoka recommended combining many species together into clay balls, and spewing them into the garden willy-nilly to discover which ones might thrive.
This mix also tips the hat to Gurney's Seed Company, which sold a Jumbo Packet of mixed seeds for one cent. Joseph Lofthouse's first garden was grown from this packet of seeds, and inspired him for his entire life.
This year's Fukuoka Grab bag contains more than 100 species—sufficient to restart an agricultural or folk-medicine system.
We divided the mix into trees, cool weather crops, and warm weather crops.
Packets contain hundreds of seeds.

Are seeds really free?
Are seeds really free?
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.
When will I get my seeds?
When will I get my seeds?
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.
