Corporate Partner Highlight: Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company steadfastly supports MESA’s work on behalf of beginning farmers and smallholder farm communities everywhere. In addition to their generous corporate sponsorship and annual gifting of heirloom seed certificates, Baker Creek also hosts MESA Stewards for annual training in heirloom seed production, inspiring new cohorts of seed producers across the Global South. Their generosity directly supports MESA’s program operations, scholarships for GAPP students and Fellows, and alumni-led SPRIG projects.
As we move forward in an uncertain world, it is support like this that highlights the potential for positive action and fortifies MESA’s relationship with the global community.
“Being involved with the MESA program has been an incredible experience for me and the staff here at Baker Creek. It allows us to connect with farmers and change makers from around the world and help spread the message of sustainability and seed keeping to places we would never be able to reach.”
A word from Baker Creek…
- John Barzaitis, General Manager
"Coming to Baker Creek was the best decision I could make. Even though I have a background in agriculture and know seeds are important, now I realize all the work behind one little seed. If there are more people like me, who are eager to travel around the world, come here, seriously, the people around here are very welcoming. You have no idea how much fun it is and how much I am learning!"
A word from our Steward…
- Sandra Figueroa Huayllapuma, MESA Steward, Peru
