3 months agoHi Nate and Anna,
I have been hoping I would get requests for seed through Grassroots Seed Network and you are the first to do this. My listings are not in very good shape because I having been waiting to find out if I would get any request before doing more work on them. I also have seeds listed at he Seed Savers Exchange. SSE has become a free service so you can go there to see more of my listings and those of other seed savers without paying a membership fee to view the listings and to request seeds.
I hope GSN will become more active because I prefer the approach to sharing seeds at GSN over the approach at SSE. You can find my contact information to use to contact me directly at the SSE seed sharing site. I'm not sure how this system you used to contact me works. However, I think I have found your contact info at your farm website so I think I will be able to contact you directly if I have more information for you.
My supply of Azeri Red and White seed is a little low and so is my supply of Tennessee Cut Short. However, I have enough of both of these seeds to share 35 seeds of each without reducing my supply of seeds below the number I need for my own use. Just send me your address and I will mail you samples of these two seeds. I don't know very much about the Azeri bean having kept it going to preserve it without getting around to using it in cooking.
Best,
Jim Tjepkema

3 months agoNama, A check is okay. I can send a little larger sample which will include some seed that is a little older than the seed I first thought I would send you. I think the older seed will be okay. I would be interested in learning about the culinary characteristics of the seed.
Jim
