❂ Upcoming Event: Wild Weed Foraging & Seed Farm Tour Nov 3rd Book Now ❂
Posted on
Well, what can I say! Spring folks…gets me every year. I have been thinking of all sorts of things I could share with you along the way, and really, I have not had the time to type on the computer!Our new interns arrived in September and all the seeds are germinating and all the beds are being prepped and the frantic period of October is upon us! Where is everything going, how will it all fit in?! What have I done!? Yes, even I have these moments after all these years 😊 Alas, I trust all will get planted and all will be well come December!So, while we tend the patch and keep busy, I had to pull myself away from the potting shed, to let you all know about our upcoming event! We have not opened our doors to the public for years! Between covid and Cyclone Gabrielle, things have not been conducive to farm tours and workshops. But our road has been mostly repaired and we have a gorgeous garden, the good beginnings of a food forest and our paddocks are holistically grazed by our Irish dexter cows. We have a bit to share about how we have been developing this land in cooperation with nature since our arrival here in 2016. We hope you can make it.And the icing on the cakes is that Felicity Joy, from Homegrown Botanica, is coming up for the day! She will be with us as we parade around our garden and farm bringing her years of foraging experience and knowledge with her. We will learn what wild edible weeds we have growing underfoot, how they can benefit our health and wellbeing and discover ingenious ideas about how to enjoy them in our cooking. -
❂ How to Support Our Work ❂

Our small family business was born out of the love of the seeds and their stories. Since I first saw the germination of my first seeds sowed, I have been hooked. When Roddy and I started Setha's Seeds it seemed unlikely that we could have our very own seed company, now 11 years on, it is embedded in our lives and we can’t imagine not having this life with the seeds, this dance with the seasons growing our food and living close to the land.
