Non-GMO Corn Preservation Project

Cascade Ruby Gold Flint
What? A volunteer project aimed at preserving the best cool-climate grain corn varieties to ensure they stay un-contaminated by GMO genes.

Why? More and more organic corn is becoming contaminated due to the difficulty of growing corn in true isolation and the increasing prevalence of GM corn in the country. It is especially important for us in the Pacific Northwest because we require short-season varieties that are not as easy to come by. We need to preserve those varieties and further adapt them to our specific climate conditions.

Get Involved!

Become a Grower  - we want to create a network of growers who care-take one or more varieties of non-GMO grain corn in isolation or with hand pollination.  

Get Educated – learn the basics of hand-pollination so that you can grow corn seed even in areas where there are other corn growers around with this great Seed Savers Exchange Guide
