Sacred Seeds seeks to protect and preserve the genetic diversity of original seeds, while promoting local, traditional, and sustainable agriculture to offer healthy and low impact food to our communities.
10 years ago, a mentor of Taylor Keens approached him and posed the question, “What are you doing to protect your corn?” The subsequent conversation led to an idea, which became a dream. This dream brought Taylor on a personal journey to help bring the tradition and history of indigenous & heirloom seeds back to his native Omaha & Cherokee people and away from the Industrial faming practices of our time. In 2014, Taylor made this dream a reality with the establishment of Sacred Seed.
Since the idea became a reality, Taylor has helped form Sacred Seed into an established non-profit with its overarching goal still well within sight and the community ready to help get him there. Partnering with Creighton University students and the greater Omaha community, Sacred Seed has begun to bring the tradition, culture, and importance back to Indigenous & Heirloom crops.
