Visit Two Seeds ın a Pod

I co-founded Two Seeds in a Pod seed company with my wife/partner Dr. Amy Thompson in 2013. What began as my journey to connect with my homeland and to document and preserve the seeds of Turkey a decade ago turned into a seed company that has introduced more than 150 seed varieties to the American seed market.

Amy is a professor of applied linguistics, and the Director of School of Teacher Education at Florida State University. When she has time on weekends, she helps me process seeds, and helps with many tasks on the farm from fixing fences to building shelves to packing seeds. She is also involved with everything artistic about our company.
