  1. Our small family business was born out of the love of the seeds and their stories. Since I first saw the germination of my first seeds sowed, I have been hooked. When Roddy and I started Setha's Seeds it seemed unlikely that we could have our very own seed company, now 11 years on, it is embedded in our lives and we can’t imagine not having this life with the seeds, this dance with the seasons growing our food and living close to the land.

  2. Our inspiration and the nitty gritty of how it works!

    Last year we DROPPED our seed packet prices across the boards. What!? Why would we do that? We took all our seed packets and made them all $1 less overnight. That doesn’t sound like much, but when the total cost of a seed packet had been $4.00 that is a ¼ of the full price.  The envelope printing and packing costs us a $1.00 each so this was not a logical decision. It was one made from the heart.

    It is impossible to write this newsletter to you without thinking back to what was happening this time last year. We were on the eve of the cyclone (or at least we were when I starred this newsletter!) and had no idea what was coming or that the newsletter I was drafting to go out that afternoon, would be another 2 weeks in sending. We have come so far from those first few days after the cyclone, and as the 1st anniversary of the storm comes round it is a time to offer gratitude for all we have and how much closer we are to life as it was before. Our local community came together for a BBQ on the cyclone anniversary to acknowledge this time and how were came together and helped each other. I also think of those who lost loved ones to the storm and send out condolences knowing this time of year will be hard for some.
