Harvesting Systems
Definition: Wild-crafted; Carefully hand harvested from the wild.
The knowledge and seed gained with harvesting wild population seed is used
to produce and restock commercial crops. DBN has developed guidelines on
sustainable harvesting of wild populations. Species and populations are
considered individually.
Definition: Farm crafted; Picked by hand or with machines from managed commercial crops.
Farmed crops are grown on five-year rotations and greatly benefit wildlife.
DBN produces 260 species of wildflower seed and plants for sale from production cycles lasting five years. Where I make seed available I try to market each species fresh from the previous or current years harvest. Due to lack of demand for certain species, some seed may have been stored for up to 4 years. If a required species is taken out of storage, delays in supply of that species should be considered.
In all cases I would be happy to accommodate the serious wildflower grower queries.
