I wish my grandmother was still here to see this. She lived all 104 years in Siloam Springs, Arkansas and fed her children and grandchildren on food she grew herself.
Seed saving and swapping is a small act individually, but if we do it collectively and on a significant scale, it can be subversive, even revolutionary, opening up a real, viable, sustainable alternative to corporate farming.
Am in Uk, came accross this by accident but so glad I watched it. Really appreciated what these guys are doing. Wonderful..... Have also seen utubes of seed swap and heritage seed banks in India.
This is important. It's inspirational. This is a fine example of how to a community can preserve the future of the land and it's cultural history. This doc. shows that Americans are still willing to come together and share. Thank you people for making the time and taking the steps to make the country thrive once again. Well done. Don't stop. May you all be blessed with many Happy Harvests.
Great documentary.Dr. Campbell’s work is tremendously important on so many levels. This documentary gives me hope in the younger generation willing to listen and learn from these serious senior gardeners. Thank you.
It's great to see young people getting involved in sustenance farming and actually meeting their neighbors for events like this. Great job, Dr. Campbell! I'm originally from Stone County, AR, but currently live in Cabool, MO. My wife and I have gone to the Baker Creek festivals, but we had no idea these 'seed swaps' were going on....thank you so much!
Growing your own food is necessary for survival if you do not have foraging skills. You cannot live a very long, healthy life without fiber, vitamins, and minerals plants provide. Farmers are born, not made. No one in my family gardens.No one in my family hunts. Somehow I have yearned for acquiring the skills necessary to do both. I also fish, sew, can vegetables, fix “stuff” and enjoy woodworking. No one in my family taught me to do any of these things. I had to want to learn myself. I am sure glad I did as well because I can survive on my own if I want to or need to. It has nothing to do with the government.
I thank you for this program. Never more truer words spoken than that people need to be less dependent on government and big corporations. That people need to be more self-sufficient. Know what's in your food. Save your seeds.
I’m so glad I found this one I get the old seeds from time to time but they’re getting hard to find round here there’s a little shop we get seed from every now and then but the old seeds are very hard to find since my granny and aunt passed away
An absolutely beautiful presentation in my opinion. Shocked at the idiotic responses within. I drove a truck many times in the Arkansas area, and loved the countryside. Thank You.
I'm still working on my green thumb. Hoping to turn half my backyard into a garden that we grow, can, eat and save seeds. Getting my kids involved as well. Starting from scratch since my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents didn't pass this info on to me. Even though we come from a long generation of farmers. Good luck to all who are attempting to do the same.
Well, this is the best , most hopeful news I’ve heard in quite some time. Thank you so much for saving your seeds.♥️ And Thank you to Dr. Veteto. You people may be the healthiest population around. I hope more people around you get involved in growing crops from heirloom seeds, and spread your ability to feed folks home grown food.
OMG! When he was talking about shelling peas with the family, I remember as a kid in the ‘70’s, gathering around a small plastic kiddie pool in the floor of our living room, everyone had their bowl and we would shell peas and throw the hulls in the pool. Dad would take it and dump it in the garden for mulch. Summertime meant SORE thumbs!! Anyone who has done it knows exactly what I mean! Lol!!!😅
Awesome. Thanks for sharing! We'll be attending the Yellville, Arkansas, Seed Swap for the 3rd year. We always enjoy the amazing seeds and have lots of our own to share. It's great to meet new people and to see returning people from year to year.
What a great way ,it was a hard times and these people worked from dust to don, but they all say they were the happiest times off THIER life ! Love to hear THIER stories of older times ! Wonder full God fearing great people !
I am moving from Alaska to Georgia and want to raise organic plants of all kinds. Collecting seeds is something I want to learn and how to cultivate them. How to take care of the soil... All of it! Monsanto has destroyed everything natural so need to learn these things and pass it along! Great knowledge and amazing amazing work being done here!
Seeds are the answer to everything! Cuttings are cool. Transplants are great. But seeds are the answer! Please do not omit gardening, EVER! I’m so proud my daughter grows her brown veggies and flowers! From seeds!!! Tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, squash, strawberries, rosemary, basil, oregano, etc... so happy and proud!!!
Its so nice to see this still going on. I grow up with no stores we did all big gardens and canning..l still do canning... its the healthys way to eat.
This is great to see. I live in Northern California and would like to see something like that around here. Our agriculture is very diverse, from olives to wine and everything in between, and it would be nice to have some local species of seeds that you know are good. I would also like to see something like this in the small farmer marijuana community. We supply about half of the nation's pot and there are many small mom and pop operations that grow some good product. This way better marijuana would be grown and more people would benefit.
Unfortunately your liberal millennial politicians and bureaucrats have destroyed the foundations of your beautiful countryside... I had recently someone from central area tell me how ttruly bad it is there...when politicians outlaw plastic straws, create homelessness, attack non liberals in public...the tell here is no hope for your state... The lady told me a salad was 17 bucks at any resturant.
@@shyamlynn243 Ours is held at our local library, check there, they just might know...OR...any program that runs a community garden of sorts. Good luck, I live in Canada too, its quite neat to see :)
There's an Amish community near Mansfield Missouri that host's a seed festival every year. It's like walking onto the set of Gun smoke when you go into the main part of the community. I love that place.
At 38 minutes, the lady spoke of global warming, There can not be global warming when the earth we live on is NOT a globe. Reading scriptures will explain in details just how our Father created our reality. Although there are patents on weather modification. All these people in this video are doing the best thing I have ever seen! Going back to the old way of life is the utmost important move on the face of the earth. Corporation desire our dependence on them for everything. More power to seed swap!!!
I am Montagnard indigenous I was grown up on farm we planted different types of bean and other thing in our farm . Today we lost our property, community land to Vietnamese rubber, coffee plantation we lost all the seed no place to farm life getting harder.
I live in Northeast NC my family have been raising the same green bean since the 1840's . I don't know if they were grown before that time or not. I save seeds myself,I'm 59 years old. The younger generation doesn't seem to care about this kind of thing unless it is connected to a cell phone,lol.
My mom said she would take a live chicken to the country store and trade it for some store goods back in the 40s. She grew up by the Clinch river, River mountain, in Russell co. Va
I am very impressed and interested in this. I do collect a few I have some hundred year old peas and wild garlic ect. I am curious though I thought putting seeds in plastic bags was a no no. I use envelopes.
Can anyone give me some info on starting a seed swap? I can't use a lot of what is grown too far north of the Gulf Coast, which means thousands upon thousands of gardeners down here miss out on a lot. We can grown all year long here but, what we can grow & when are two different things. It's the same everywhere. People up north can't grow semi- tropical & tropical outdoors. We can't grow foxgloves, hollyhocks or peonies. It's so hot in late spring here most of the time that we have to plant pansies & petunias, etc. in the fall & grow the through the winter to have a nice stand. If we have one of our unexpected winters that are in the twenties & teens we can lose a LOT of plants & even shrubs! I'm desperate! Can anyone even point me in the right direction for a start? It will be GREATLY appreciated,ladydi

This is great but the fact is satan is rising. You don't believe in God, satan does and he is very afraid. His time is short and coming to an end. He would like to take as many human souls to hell with him as possible. Turn to Jesus, he loves you. No matter what you do are have done. Bible a great mountian falls in the sea. Before this you will hear voices, thunder lightening, and earthquake. There is more coming from God. Read rev. Kjv. May God be with you.
Big Bill O'Reilly Nobody fits her description of Satan as much as Donald Trump. Among his many, many sins, his destruction of laws meant to protect the environment may be the worst. Please do your research. Just Google “environmental protection laws repealed by Trump”, or/and “ list of charges against Donald Trump”. Also a really good book called The Grapes Of Wrath can be listened to on UA-cam. It’s a good story about the dust bowl in your area in the Great Depression years, and how people were thrown off their farms. They had to sell everything they owned for almost nothing, and move to California. There is so much to learn in that book about the history of your area.
ROY SIMMONS I LIVE IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND I HAVE SOME PEA SEED THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS, THAT WE CALL RED RIPPERS. WONDER IF THEY ARE THE SAME PEA.
My dad's family is from the ozarks & I'm wanting to know and find them ??? How I have little or no money and my father is dead ???? What to do ?? Michelle mills
Michelle Mills if you have internet, try to google the Ozark folk centers number. When you contact them by phone, ask them if they have any suggestion's on who might have records of the most recent Ozark census. If your father had any possessions that would have leads on family names & places or if he mentioned any names, see if you could match any names. Most of the time you can do a little research by phone, internet or correspondence through mail. I'm not experienced in the matter, but I hope that will help. If you know where your father grew up, you might be able to speak with some neighbor's still there from that time which could lead you to his siblings or other relatives that might still lived there or use to live in the area. Might find quite a few who would love to revel in days of old, most of the time you'll get the best leads from that.
What about all the Chemtrails they're spraying what do you think they're doing to our dirt with that ask any dirt expert what they're doing ask a lot of people in Arizona what they've done to their dirt out there why don't they spray in Israel one of the only continents they don't chemtrail
Grow up dude get real what you're doing is actually against the federal law and really really bad Distributing seeds like that around the world it's really bad for the environment you should do your research better like I said grow up dude get real Happy Days

Don't know why I clicked on this, but I ended up watching the whole thing. Very well done
Seed saving and swapping is a small act individually, but if we do it collectively and on a significant scale, it can be subversive, even revolutionary, opening up a real, viable, sustainable alternative to corporate farming.

“Growing your own food is a subversive act.” Great statement
Growing your own food is necessary for survival if you do not have foraging skills. You cannot live a very long, healthy life without fiber, vitamins, and minerals plants provide. Farmers are born, not made. No one in my family gardens.No one in my family hunts. Somehow I have yearned for acquiring the skills necessary to do both. I also fish, sew, can vegetables, fix “stuff” and enjoy woodworking. No one in my family taught me to do any of these things. I had to want to learn myself. I am sure glad I did as well because I can survive on my own if I want to or need to. It has nothing to do with the government.
I thank you for this program.
Never more truer words spoken than that people need to be less dependent on government and big corporations. That people need to be more self-sufficient. Know what's in your food. Save your seeds.

We use to do road trips on our bikes up to Branson back down through Heber Springs, real nice country

Right..I only put seeds in envelopes or paper bags. Same with nut meats, pecans, put in brown paper bags & put in fridge or freezer.
Dr. Campbell is soooo cute. I’d learn a lot from him😉💋
Very Cool!!
