I usually don’t make it a habit to blog about what I’m working on (it’s a long story) but the Heritage Seed Collective is one such exception since we’re in need of funding.

The above are three seed packs I just recently designed. The designs have been featured in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and Table Magazine (Summer 2011 issue).

Blackberry Meadows Farm approached Fireman Creative to design nostalgic-looking seed packs for the endangered heirloom seeds the farm had selected to save. The seeds were selected from the Slow Foods Ark of Taste list. Currently, Heritage Seed Co. and Fireman Creative are attempting to raise $10,000 on Kickstarter to fund a website that will promote community building, create a seed saving resource and a place for digitally mapping where these species of plants are being grown. Fireman Creative would both design and build the site. Presently, we’re only about 30% there and have only until July 1st to reach our goal or we receive none of the funds. The following video does a good job of explaining the project and where we’re currently at:

So, be a hero to these endangered seeds and kick in a buck at HeritageSeeds.org.
