I am a Turkish seed steward, small-scale seed grower, farmer, and public scholar who farmed for restoration and preservation of the seeds of Turkey (Türkiye) on our small farm in Tampa, Florida and Reedsville, West Virginia in the past. I see our farm operation as a learning space and a gateway to exploring more than fifty food crops for their cultural significance, culinary uses, climate adaptability and significance related to food justice and food security as well as a space in which I build relations with plants and their stewards.
