March 2013We LOVE checking our mailbox these days! As he was going through the Member Seed Directory a couple of months ago, our Executive Director Bob identified ~1000 rare seeds listed by members. We sent out requests for samples to add to our Seed Library, and every day envelopes of seed have been arriving which will be grown out and expanded in coming years. Thanks so much to the members who have been supportive of this project! In this newsletter edition, we bring to you Yves Gagnon's hunt for the perfect tomato, updates on native pollinator research, and an exciting new seed-borne disease project we've recently received funding for. We especially want to highlight the GM Alfalfa Day of Action being organized across the country for April 9th. GM Alfalfa is in danger of being released onto the Ontario market this spring - a move that would have serious implications for the entire organic industry and unknown effects on pollinator populations. Please read the article below for ways to get involved in your community! The Search for the Perfect Tomato
