Native American Free Seed Program

Native Seeds/SEARCH is grateful for and indebted to indigenous farmers for their contributions in developing and passing on the agricultural biodiversity of the Greater Southwest. We provide membership and other benefits, at no cost, to Native peoples living in the Greater Southwest region. Membership is not required in order to receive benefits.

Native Americans living in the Greater Southwest region or belonging to tribes within the Southwest Region may receive up to 30 regular-price seed packets at no cost (not including Tucson Seed varieties or wildflowers), with a limit of 3 packets per variety (e.g., 3 packets of ZS142 Guarijio Sweet Corn, 3 packets of PC100 Taos Red Bean up to a total of 30). Additional seed can be purchased at half price. Organizations formally affiliated with Native American groups should request seeds through our Community Seed Grants program. Please contact us and we will do our best to meet your needs.

Native Americans living outside of the Greater Southwest region may receive up to 30 regular-price packets at half price (not including Tucson Seed varieties or wildflowers), with a limit of 3 packets per variety (e.g., 3 packets of ZS142 Guarijio Sweet Corn, 3 packets of PC100 Taos Red Bean up to a total of 30). Additional packets can be purchased at regular price.
