- Part 2 of the series, Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison visits the legendary Seven Seeds Farm and its founder, Don Tipping, discussing Don's seed breeding efforts, philosophy, and his successful business Siskiyou Seeds. This is a shining example of a permaculture farm that has really cracked the code by being at the same time financially successful, ecologically abundant, hydrologically beneficial, biodiverse, and a unique expression of the creativity and ingenuity of it's founder. Don is a true seed whisperer doing powerful work.

We need a company like this in every bioregion that can both produce seed AND demonstrate how to get the plants to thrive in local conditions. I started purchasing seed from another local company whose plants also have to deal with the challenges of a true maritime climate and my gardening success skyrocketed. I can buy those exact same varieties from a larger company with a decent reputation and not do quite as well. A few generations of growing in a place and selecting seed from the most vital plants really seems to make a difference even if the variety doesn't officially change.
well said!
@@Siskiyouseeds Can you talk more about the grey water dam you have behind the house? You said you would talk more about that in the water wizard video :) cheers
Well, if only there were already plants naturally adapted to each ecoregion that also fully support the entire wildlife web there...like, I dunno, "local natives," or something??? If only these big ops would sell whatever was already growing on their land for eons before it got bulldozed clear to build their farms... Nahhh.
what ? You don’t trust Monsanto anymore ? ;-)

I can’t express enough how excited I get when I see a new video from you. Makes me proud to be a fellow Oregonian.
Glad to hear it! Cheers!
Don really captured the thing that really give growers satifaction. Participating in the life force. I get that from volenteers that replant themselves and literally popping out of the ground! Well said.
Best described to me as Phenohunting.
Phenohunting is the process of selecting genetic phenotype variations from the same breed of plant, to optimize for certain traits, an example is grow a large amount and select all of the ones that have a pronounced trait, like longer branches, stronger weather resistance, or disease resistance as an example. Phenohunting is the methodology to produce truly unique and gorgeous heirloom genetic. Humans have been selecting for genetics since we knew how to grow our first seed. Ginetic engineering, one of the first technologies.
Wow, this is an impressive system, if only this was the norm not the exception. I will be buying from this seed company whenever possible.
Great work, so fundamental! Thank you for mentioning the elementals, too! Some farms do everything right but do not realize that elementals or other beings are traumatized. That will hold everything down while healing is so simple. Joyful work with nature, connectedness and perceiving/feeling the wide spectrum of visible and invisible influences is great, thank you!
Andrew, you're genius! I love your videos!
I so appreciate the kind words! Cheers :-)
This is the direction public libraries should be going in!
At this level of creativity and expertise, farming truly is art. Thank you for another fantastic video of Don's wonderful farm!
This video is super inspiring for us just starting the journey on our land. You guys have given us a bunch of new ideas for how to shape/use the land over the years to come so thank you 🙂
I believe this ingenious farmer has got the message of nature right. He listened and was rewarded and gifted. Stunning. Thanks for this video. Liked and subscribed. I needed this fullfilling and uplifting content so much.
Excellent content and brilliant life ideas!!
Thank you for creating and sharing~
My pleasure! Thank you for the kind words :-)
just stellar...incredibly inspiring!
🙏🍃♥️🤲🍃💚🕊Thank you for being Divinely connected to Mother Earth precious Angels
I would love to live there, and do this as a living. Absolutely beautiful!!!!
your channel is a gift
Beautiful sharing friend 👍👍👍👍
👍 Love, peace. Agriculture is cultivating love. Grow, eat, share... Perma sustainable economy...
This video is abundant with inspiration! That's a dream!
Great work, y’all! I got to meet you, Don in my time in Southern Oregon working with Herb Pharm and I admire what you do so much. I want to do the same in the my own future land
Thank you for sharing your videos.
👍👍🎯from 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy this video series
All on 5 acres😊
TOTALLY INSPIRING!!!
Siskyou Seeds is such a great farm.
This is the best channel I have ever subscribed to.
Amazing!
Thank you 🙂
Love it ❤❤❤
Damn that was deep
Would you consider growing hazelnuts in your year round grow house and inoculate the trees with truffles?
Might come up with some interesting results.
In a few years. ?!?
Your work is very inspiring, thank you.
We have abundant native edible fungi in the forest here. The prized Oregon White Tuffles only grow below 700' elevation
Nice 👍
I hate even throwing ONE seed away - seems so wasteful, spiritually.
We live in ABUNDANCE!!!
Don't forget that the seed can feed a bird, it's never wasted.
Love your channel! You should check out Paul Gautschi and the 'Back to Eden' project in Sequim Washington. I think you'd like some of the things he's done with reclaiming the topsoil. (Wanted to send this to you, but wasn't sure how, so I picked a related video.)
Love Siskiyou seeds and order from them regularly. Do you have any videos from your visit about the labor side of things. Clearly there is more work than one person being done there. Does Don speak on how many man hours it takes to keep the place running?
Hi. We have a farm crew of 4 people that work 2/1-11/1. Then we have 7 other folks who help with the seed business
well Andrew, I apologize for my other comment. I realize it was rash. I deleted it because I feel embarrassed by it now. I hadn’t known about your podcast. I felt like your channel was missing those topics. But I’m sorry if I had just missed some of the videos that did cover it.
I’ll look into the context you mentioned.
So I’m sorry I was mean about it and jumping to conclusions.
I do hope you’re always concerned by the weight of your influence in this movement.
Permaculture is a vital wave of information that can spread to heal the earth. Your position as a teacher can either be for fixing the problem at it’s true root Or of improving the resilience and efficiency of an inherently destructive core system.
Basically, you can work to support decolonization or colonization.
I am sorry i misunderstood you, though.
I know you need to work hard to be approachable to new skeptical audiences. And providing shallow introduction to permaculture is what’s needed in that area.
I judged you fully by that content without digging deeper. And I was hoping to provide pressure to get you to tackle larger concepts.
But if you already are using your position for that then I’m glad.
Thanks Wren and I appreciate the dialogue. There's a really fine line that I attempt to walk between giving people hard hitting information on the one side, and not pushing their buttons so much to turn them away on the other. I am still working on this and I have a lot to learn. Like I said to you before, I see my message as the whole body of my work. Some parts of it are friendly and inviting to the person who has never heard of permaculture before. Some parts are technical for the more advanced person. Some parts are more political and social. Some are more esoteric or philosophical. With these 2 videos I am currently working on with the Nation of Hawaii, we will be confronting more directly issues of indigenous sovereignty and colonialism. At the same time, the Nation of Hawaii themselves do not want to alienate anybody to their cause, because they hold a vision that can help the whole world that's built on a foundation of peace and friendship, in spite of the deep wrongs done to their people. I feel like we did a good job of that with the chinampas video as an example of how that may look. I firmly believe that the best way to tell these complicated stories are with the voices of the people themselves, and I am receiving invitations from groups all over the world to help them tell their stories. So I'll take your words and the words of others very seriously in considering how to most effectively present the incredibly complex and nuanced histories and circumstances that exist. Thanks for sharing your truth.
I think you both have beautiful souls.
This made me cry and its all I can say at the moment, thank you !
damn he's growing mate? in america? thats cool
What method do you use to get the seed (parental plant's progeny) to diversify quickly and dispart so that you end up with plenty of new varietals to examine for dispart
That’s a good question and a few of my mentors will use a technique of cross pollinating a number of varieties within a species to create a diverse population that gives you many offspring to select from to move the population in the desired direction.
I would love to start this here where I live in South Africa
I wanted to recreate this in Tigray, northern Ethiopia
♥️
Andrew can u do on ethiopia ,having plenty of Walter, it suffers from drought
Wouldn't happen to have any Hopi Pale Gray winter squash seeds would you?
Where can one source the seed money for such a venture...?
The real plan B
No sound or sound icon. Used captions.
This guy might be a genius.
He is genius! He has proved it
Some people are smart but, every once in a while, you come across someone who is incredibly intelligent and, in Don Tipping's case, he is that but he also "gets" it. What a great human being!
Y’all know any quality seed companies like this in southern Mississippi? Pine belt bio region
elemental being?
Classical music being played during day and cicada sound being played during night can have massive positive impact on your plants and crops in general.
He's speaking truth . Jesus would be so proud, this man just doesn't realize he's doing God's work.
Him: "We're cultivating consciousness."
Me: You're growing plants dude ffs.
What happend
He cut out the part where he says that they deliver globally, as someone had a fit about it under the last video
@@peterpomissar604 oh really? I saw this upload before and have been meaning to watch it so I was also confused when I see it reposted
Why would someone be upset about shipping globally to the point where the video had to be taken down and reposted shorter?
@@peterpomissar604 I mean WUT?? Like, for real?? 😕
@@peterpomissar604 thanks for explaining - the internet seemingly isn't complete unless someone has a fit 😐
Basically in the first 3 hours of having the video up, I realized that I had provided inaccurate information about the availability of the seed globally, and that they recently had to stop shipping internationally due to regulations. So instead of causing frustration for everyone outside the US and Canada who tries to order seed for the long lifetime of the video, I took it down and corrected the error and now re-uploaded. Sorry for any confusion but I'd rather do that then have an untrue statement haunt me forever!
I find it really enjoyable when someone creates something interesting, but gets a little cheesy to watch when they start talking all philosophical about something thats normal and natural like a plant growing.
All this talk about essence and mystical stuff….. the guy made an irrigation system, holding ponds, and planted things. Its nothing deeper that, man 😂
"The meaning of life is to give life meaning." - Unknown
When you produce something with love and passion, there is depth and meaning which can only be weighed by one's own ability to feel the impact of what they do. There is nothing deeper than to be connected with the land. It IS your ancestral roots, whereas you are born of dust and shall return to dust. You are made of the same water that coarsed the land you walk upon. Your giver of life, your host to whom you prey parasitic upon, your Mother, she asks people to go deeper than they thought possible, to be connected with what can only be a useless pile of stones and rotting biomass, this planet we call home.
Please, Cliff, understand that the human experience is far more valid than many give credit. It is not that millions of people are losing their minds over some hot topic that will burn out by next Labor Day. This phenomenon of philosophy and metaphysics has always been a part of this reality, and people will always have their experiences which simply cannot be invalidated by anyone. Depth, in such regards, is a measure which you can not perform for anyone but yourself.
Live in love friend. Learn more about permaculture and traditional practices which allowed harmony between humanity and our sacred home. Anyone who is willing to give 30+ years to practicing good stewardship in a world that tries to sway away from having any responsibility towards the land, I'd say there is a level of depth there that is quite incomparable to what you may be accustomed to. Much like we grow plants; we too must grow. I wish you peace on your journey, as you should wish well for others.
Lots of glass, plastic and electricity though
Rad
please feature some women and POC in the US
Definitely. I just returned from Hawaii where I filmed a series with the Sovereign Indigenous Nation of Hawaii on their traditional Ahupua'a agriculture system. That will be coming out this fall featuring the excellent work of their community.
...also, here's a video we did about the inspiring work of a black permaculturist JR Morgan that you may enjoy: ruclips.net/video/5eEH-CQLwtk/видео.html
And here is a video we did about the work of a female US permie, Marisha Auerbach that you may enjoy: ruclips.net/video/d8KQevszmuk/видео.html
@@amillison So stoked for this! Hawaiians are amazing!
It saddens me that divisions of race and gender are so much in the forefront of people's minds. when I watch permaculture videos the last thing that I would ever concern myself is what race or which gender the person who's is sharing amazing knowledge with me belongs to. 😢
And you a rat.
How are you staving off the pollution from the chemtrails? Dane Wiginton's little place around Shasta is dying.
its not mary? 😮😅
So your R&D aims to find out what has the best "resistance, taste and looks"? Seriously?
Is there no other quality of food that might have priority?
Does nothing come to mind there?
NOTHING?!
The spirituality stuff here is a bit counter productive, alot of farmers have a bad impression of permaculture already.
That it's hippy dippy woo woo BS.
When really its a design philosophy centered around abiotic and bioitc pattern replication.
I usually love your videos, directly because they're usually science based but this one just isn't for me.
