PLANNED
Heritage seed varieties from named growers. Seed companies have consolidated aggressively — small growers saving heritage genetics are getting squeezed out. The transparent supply chain preserves biodiversity by making it economically viable.
Four companies control 60%+ of the global seed market. Heritage varieties — the genetic diversity that makes agriculture resilient — are maintained almost entirely by small growers saving seed by hand. These growers have no infrastructure, no clearing mechanism, and no way to verify provenance at scale. The transparent supply chain changes that.
Variety name, lineage, growing region, years maintained, and isolation practices documented. Genetic provenance — where this seed came from and who has been keeping it alive.
Seed available by variety, quantity, and season. Germination rates tested and documented. Growing notes from the keeper included.
Market gardeners, homesteaders, seed libraries, and home gardeners. Every packet carries the keeper's name, the variety lineage, the growing region, and the germination data.
The heirloom seed market is small but culturally significant and growing. More importantly, preserving genetic diversity in food crops is a food security imperative. The transparent supply chain makes heritage seed-saving economically viable by connecting keepers to buyers who value what they're preserving.
Many Rivercreek producers are already seed savers — maintaining heritage corn, wheat, bean, and tomato varieties on their operations. The platform extends to serve this practice with the same clearing and documentation infrastructure.
If you produce, process, or buy nursery & heirloom seed and want to be part of what we're building, we want to hear from you.
