This year's Exchange boasts more than 14,000 unique plant varieties, each open-pollinated, ensuring they will produce offspring identical to their parent plants.
The Exchange is a remarkable preservation of culinary history, with over 1,600 heirloom bean varieties alone, each holding a unique human story tied to its lineage.
With the rise of hybrids and GMOs, as much as 75% of the world's edible plant varieties have been lost, making preservation efforts crucial.
Started 50 years ago by mail, The Exchange has transitioned into a vibrant online seed swapping community, emphasizing biodiversity and the importance of heirloom varieties.
