🌱 Legacy Seed Box — Community Edition 20+ Seed Variety

The Legacy Seed Box grew out of a real, public conversation about food insecurity in the United States — and a shared decision to respond with action.During a federal government shutdown, Karee Upendo of Upendo Estates Farm and Erica Plants, owner of Plant & Heal Co. and Gardening Under Influence LLC, connected publicly to address a simple truth:when systems stall, families still need food.That conversation turned into action.Together, they created the Legacy Seed Box as a seed-based solution rooted in dignity, preparation, and long-term food access for families. The work moved from conversation to community distribution through shelters and food pantries — meeting families where they already were, without barriers.Because of the impact of this work, Black Voters Matter partnered with us to support this effort by covering materials and shipping, allowing Legacy Seed Boxes to reach families across the country.
