SIERRA SEEDS  inspires mindful eaters, lovers of life, hopeful humans who love beauty and story of food and nourishment feel inspired, engaged and reflective and inspired to make change.

We cultivate intimacy with the earth and ancestral food traditions through medicinal storytelling on seed songs and seed rematriation in innovative, grounding, rich fertile, nourishing learning circles.  

We guide farmers, gardeners, food justice activists to feel nourished, empowered and uplifted to grow their capacity as creative leaders, visionaries, and changemakers through mentorship/facilitation on seed stewardship and food sovereignty (Seed Seva and Seeding Change). 

We strive to be a safe space, with shared values of anti-oppression and radically open and direct communication. We are committed to healthy, constructive dialogue about ways we can heal our diverse culturally appropriate food systems from the inside out. 

We care for people who care for seeds, in all the way seeds inspire and nourish us in our lives.
