What a lot of knowledge. Wonderful to see in detail hw everything works. Many thanks and Love from Belgium.

[@saucywench9122]

I just found these seeds in my local co-op. Came home and immediately pulled up KZbin and found this video. Thanks so much for this upload and a wonderful comment section.

[@tommathews3964]

Nice to get a "behind the scenes" of one of my favorite seed companies! I've used Southern Exposure, with very good results, for about the last 15 years. Their varieties are well adapted to my conditions in hot, humid, Alabama. I firmly believe that "regionality" is very important in adaptability of seed strains. I'll use these guys whenever possible, over a seed company located outside of the south. Thanks for the sneak peek!

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@timsonder8467]

I love the varieties and the quality from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange for my own garden, and Irena has been kind enough to donate expired seeds and overstock to Edible Evanston to encourage and enable food growing and sharing in our community. The BEST place to buy okra seeds. (And everything else.) Thanks, Josh, for doing this film.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. It was really nice to visit there and to share a little behind the scenes with people. Thanks for watching!

[@paxtianodirtfrog8947]

I did not know that SSE was a community, very interesting. I have always admired their goals and work. Even when I get my farm up and rolling with production type crops I will still try to dedicate a small place for unique heirlooms like what these guys are keeping alive. Thanks for sharing.

[@paxtianodirtfrog8947]

@Southern Exposure Seed ExchangeNow that I see it spelled out before me I see what you mean. I will be checking you guys out for sure now! Sorry for the mistake!

[@1gr8lpta]

I lover Sothern Exposure Seeds. Everything we bought grew and flourished!

[@buddymc]

Wow, great vid. SESE is my #1 seed source and has been for years. Thanks for giving a look at a great seed company.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

I streamed this on my television last night and has to wake up, come downstairs and leave a comment. Thank you for sharing their story. i have ordered from them-several things- from them before and have been quite pleased. This is a very cool piece of their story i would not else wise have known.-Hope

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@funkpepperfarms6356]

What!! I just ordered for them. They were excellent and the seeds were great!

[@rebeccahatch8852]

I have used these guys for years and I live on the Alabama-Florida border and I have had very good results. I love that they are non gmo and care for our heirlooms. Love your channel Josh

[@amybullock9162]

Thanks for this reply. I am looking for seeds that work well here in Southeast Louisiana. I've been sourcing some from MIgardener, but worry about their varieties working well down in the humidity.

[@robertmorales1658]

Dear Josh, I came across this wonderful documentary re: Southern exposure.com seed company and found it very interesting indeed. Thank you putting this out there for us to see. The young lady you interviewed gave a wonderful presentation as to how they process their seeds. Thank you. Robert

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!

[@jacobwilliamson7222]

Smiled the whole way through, great info, will always support SEE. Great people and company

[@FermentedHomestead]

This was so cool to see! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this seed company. The seed storage room is quite dreamy 😃

[@fallenfate93]

feel free to come check us out if you have time!

[@Sagern234]

From Kentucky here and get at least half my seeds from them, about to make an order after first if the year

[@dannyhughes9874]

From a little Seed....... Great coverage of a super important enterprise.

[@vaduc4149]

I purchase from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange yearly, great company to deal with. I have had excellent luck with their seeds. I am in VA also.

[@crystalnoe3897]

Very interesting to watch a video on a company I have bought seeds from!! So interesting to watch the various seed prep methods. The fan and bucket process was cool. My 4 and 6 year old do my seed harvesting from our garden :) The PURPLE PEANUTS were too cool. Gonna have to buy that! Maybe next time, cover more of their cool stuff to help them get more purchases as a result of the video. (Kinda how it will lead to me buying purple peanut seeds) Or do a video for kid friendly cool stuff to grow and various themes, to get the seed company more sales and maybe some residual income. (Just thinking out-loud.) Very cool

[@lvp6905]

Hey Josh, again, thank you. I'm in Alabama so I will be ordering from Southern Exposure!

[@thomasallen531]

I've ordered seeds from them several times over the years and I have another decent size order on the way right now. I only live about a 3 hr drive from them which is why they are one of my first choices for mail order seeds. I like them even more after watching this video.

[@JerryB507]

I picked a good afternoon to watch this video. It's raining. I watched the vid and then spent another hour+ looking at their website.

[@JustJoe36]

Wow, thanks for the inside tour of my favorite seed company!

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@JustJoe36]

@@JoshSattinFarming I appreciate your views and ideas!

[@lukevanasdalan9105]

This is so cool! I love supporting these guys! I buy something from them every year! Thanks so much Josh for this video!

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Yeah, they are great people. Thanks for watching!

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

Really interesting to see behind the scenes here, thank you.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@sweett5811]

I love this company and I think they're totally under rated! Love this!

[@MoneypitHomestead]

We are here in Falls Of Rough, KY wishing you a Merry Christmas and may God's blessings come to you and yours for the rest of this and throughout all of next year!!!!

[@kailesancez]

Love her accent. Sounds like a really cool place to live.

[@MsRESPECT90]

My favorite seed company.

[@Tito_vibes]

this is the type of narrative that should be told.....good work!

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Thank you!

[@carladelagnomes]

Thank you for this! There was so many good ideas and bits of information!

[@gaiadominicana]

Sra. Irena gracias por ei Tour/Afectos desde el Caribe-Adelante

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I'd have been a kid in a candy store!!!!!!! Merry Christmas:)

[@terrycaldwell7700]

Been ordering from them for a lot of years they always do good in Kentucky.good prices and fast shipping better seeds than anyone else a.nd non GMO'S

[@vickiburt2676]

Wow Josh, you smiled!!! I guess seeds are heady stuff!

[@rebeccazody1278]

Great interview

[@mattingly1217]

What a lot of work!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

So interesting! Glad you did this video! Love the idea of everyone's position being equal... unfortunately that wouldn't work in my neck of the woods- we have too many lazy people! 😂

[@1080-r2l]

Great Video

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Thank you!

[@drew_elydanao8320]

Wow! Lots of seeds 😱😍😍😍 I love to plant those! I am home grown backyard.. I hope there's also available in Asian country like Philippines. I got a green thumb.🌱

[@GrammaRosesHomestead]

Living in the Southeast US, Southern Exposure has been a valuable resource for me. Thanks for the tour! BTW, Parafilm is one of those ubiquitous products you'll find in just about any chemical or biological lab. Every lab supplier sells it in 4", and 2" wide rolls, but I found 1" wide Parafilm Grafting Tape on Amazon. here's a link to just one of the sellers - amzn.to/2QfX5Vt

[@carennorthcutt7724]

Strange that Utoobe put this in my algorithm; I was looking for their current catalog on goooolgle a few days ago & couldn't pull it up. Now this video pops up. Still looking for a current SE catalog.

[@lindajohnson4204]

I just dowloaded a 2020 catalog.

[@MrDave8539]

On that seedpack machine there is a 2000, from my experience that means it does 2000/hour.

[@ramonalvarado9503]

I wonder how they control cross-pollination between their vegetables plants.

[@rodbeckstedt8588]

Josh, how do you think their seeds would do in mid west Ohio?

[@JoshSattinFarming]

The would do fine. They carry some excellent seeds. Feel free to reach out to them with any questions.

[@rockshoal4267]

I sent a letter/application to grow seeds for them, no reply. I have been saving seeds for forty years....

[@bellesparks4374]

I want to order from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange:)! I am from Bama:)!

[@lindajohnson4204]

Lots of their seeds come from Bama heirloom plants, and will say "hi' to you!

[@RVBadlands2015]

Are they organic non gmo seeds.

[@lindajohnson4204]

Always!

[@shanartisan]

This woman is wearing a cloak. I want a cloak.

[@aenorist2431]

Make a cloak, its ridiculously easy. Plenty of patterns around and its really just a blanket with some darts taken out for fit. She also has a nice jacket under that, might be a costumer / reenactor / larper for a hobby, or just someone who likes good clothes :D

[@waynesilva9157]

I live in New Hampshire and and love southern exposure. I grow mostly southern Corn which grows great in New Hampshire. My favorites are Kentucky rainbow , pungo creek, bloody butcher, McCormick blue giant, advent gulch, and big daddy's yellow.
