Over the past decade, there has been a major resurgence of interest in reviving heritage and landrace grains in the Northeast. Building on, and in collaboration with, the incredible efforts of seed savers Sylvia Davatz and Ruth Fleishman, the MGA has developed as a space where farmers, bakers, researchers, home gardeners, and grain enthusiasts can connect to share seeds and knowledge, collaborate on trials, seek out rare varieties, and be part of the growing community of those who understand the importance of preserving and expanding the cultivation of these valuable crops. Join MGA’s Executive Director, Tristan Noyes, to explore the many valuable resources this network has to offer.
