Prairie Seed Collection at Etzel Sugar Grove Farm
Volunteers Needed Public Welcome Group Tour Seed Handling Public Restroom Free Public Parking
Etzel Sugar Grove Farm uses regenerative and organic practices to model the future of agriculture for a more resilient, sustainable world. The farm includes a mature woodland, a pasture, tillable fields, vegetable beds, berry bushes, and fruit and nut trees.
The farm team are weaving prairie buffer strips throughout the cropland and restoring the woodlands to encourage ecological diversity and wildlife. The prairie forbs are diverse and concentrated, making seed collection very rewarding!
Most of the seeds collected will be used to maintain the health and beauty of the lands at Indian Creek Nature Center. A few select seeds may be taken home with participants.
A restroom is available.
What to bring
A least one of the following: a plastic ice cream pail with a handle, a cloth grocery bag, or a sturdy paper sack with handle.
