I am a bean seed collector. For me, collecting bean and legume seeds is primarily about preserving the diversity and availability of these vegetable crops. The second goal is to give the opportunity to grow beans to those who want to grow them, but cannot afford to buy rare bean seeds. That is why I not only sell, but also give seeds to those who need them. As of 2024, I have about 500 varieties of beans and legumes in my collection, and their number is constantly growing. And finally, the third task is to popularize legumes among the world population.
There are about 20 people in my team, the same collectors as me in Russia.

We can offer:

500 varieties of beans and other legumes, for exchange and purchase. I also send gifts of bean and legume seeds, giving everyone the opportunity to grow beans and have food security.
I also share my experience of growing beans and other legumes on my YouTube channel and personally, which can help beginning gardeners.

We seek:

Opportunity to exchange and purchase bean and legume seeds from around the world, as well as partner support in delivering seeds to people who need and need them.

I dream that as many people as possible learn about the huge variety of beans and legumes, that this is a useful crop not only as food for humans, but also useful for soil fertility
