Here is my trade list, if anyone is interested in seed trades this year.
Although I am growing most crops landrace style, I am not comfortable labelling them “landraces” (yet), because they still feel more like collections of diversity, rather than “varieties” adapted to my garden and my tastes -- they are getting there though. For now I am using the term “grex”; maybe next year I’ll call them landraces.
A few varieties on the list were actually isolated enough that I would consider them “pure” -- they are marked as such. Everything on the list was grown in 2016 or 2017. Most of the proto-landraces are in their 1st through 3rd generation. Let me know if you have any questions about my seeds. I am happy to send or post photos of the crops (if I have them).
I have a pretty substantial “wants” list. For many crops, I already have a good stock of germplasm, but would still like to add diversity to the mix. Landrace varieties would be highly appreciated. In most cases, I am only looking for small quantities of seed to add to diverse plantings. That is what I’m expecting to send in trades, but I could send larger quantities of some things...depending on how many people are interested.
I am particularly interested in pure flour or pure flint corns, true potato or sweet potato seeds, and in segregating hybrids of any crop.
