Membership Perks
Quarterly Member Magazine
The Heritage Farm Companion membership magazine is filled with stories from the Seed Savers Exchange community, gardening and seed-saving advice, news, and more.
Take Part—Become a Citizen Scientist!
Members are invited to participate in our Citizen Science Corps program and grow out and evaluate varieties from our collection in collaboration with our Preservation team. This valuable contribution from members helps us better understand and care for the varieties in our collection.

Virtual Membership Meet-Ups
Grow your network with virtual member meet-ups! Connect with gardeners across North America and share the good, the bad, and the funny from your garden. Each meet-up will feature a Seed Savers Exchange expert, plus a chance to meet other active members in your region and beyond.
Swap Seeds
Share and exchange seeds with other gardeners on the Exchange. (The Exchange is open to everyone. The printed, annual Yearbook is a print directory of seeds on the Exchange and is available to $50+ members upon request.)
Member-Exclusive Seeds
New and returning business members can choose to participate in SSE's Member Growing Club and receive free exclusive variety seeds to grow and evaluate on the Sustaining Membership form.
