Hi I am Ojibway and I agree so much with your post. I have been growing my own food in the backyard for a few years because I want to get of the corporate food grid, and have full trust in what i am eating. I must tell you there is a Canadian seed seller who is almost all heritage seeds...I bought some Cherokee Trail of Tears bean seeds. I grew them the last few years. They are called this because they were originally found being carried by the deceased women. They have been preserved as heritage seeds each year since. I think you need to grow these beans. For Honor. Thats why I grow them ever year. I save some seeds every year for the next season. https://www.rareseeds.com/cherokee-trail-of-tears/

I love Baker Creeek’s seeds! I order from them every year. But I’ve not ordered any beans from them, so I haven’t ran across these. I’ll have to look into them. Thanks for posting the link. :)
Thanks for your reply @houseofcouchie! The Cherokees annually open their seed bank up to the tribe and offer each citizen two selections for free. I noticed that the trail of tears beans were listed and i read about starting the seeds but I never heard the story behind them; makes me want to check out your link and submit an order. Spring is coming up so quick!! (self affirmation). I especially love using the heritage seeds for exactly the same reason your motivated to harvest your own food, something you can have full trust in. And its so much more delicious from the garden! Thank you so much for your recommendation, you will know you planted the idea as a seed, in my mind when you read the posts about my beans this spring!
You've introduced to me my new favorite seed site @houseofcouchie! The selection is overwhelming. Now I'm going to have a lot more tilling to do! I read something about a spring planting festival on that site that is located just a couple of hours away from me! Your giving me some great blogging ideas!
Fantastic!! Glad to help. I invite you to take a look at my first post in a series i plan to cover Called how to be more creative on Steemit. Have a great evening!
