Come see the new high capacity Seed Winnower demonstration, at the Comox Valley Growers and Seed Savers AGM, on Thurs, June 6, at Creekside Commons in Courtenay. The Winnower will be available by donation or rent, helping local farmers and gardeners become more seed self-sufficient, explains Susan Holvenstot, chair of the CVGSS. “Nothing is more important for food security than having enough locally adapted, and properly stored seeds,” Comox Valley Seed Bank, a project of CVGSS.
