Order now before we are sold out. Hopi Three Sisters Native American Seed Collection - Mountain River Seed Exclusive!As a young man I was fascinated by the Native Americans. In studying about his life, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce was a personal hero. I have been searching for and collecting rare seed varieties that are authentic to these indigenous farmers, to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude. Some of these varieties were carefully selected and saved for thousands of years. Time tested, climate adapted, hardy, and prolific; there is a wealth of benefits in preserving and propagating these heirlooms for future generations. A significant percentage of the seeds used in agriculture in the United States today can be traced back to plants first cultivated and domesticated by Native American communities. While it's hard to pinpoint an exact percentage (lots), many staple crops that form the backbone of agriculture, such as corn (maize), beans, squash, and certain varieties of potatoes, were originally domesticated by Indigenous peoples.This authentic Hopi 3 Sisters Native American Seed Mix is made up of Hopi Blue corn, Hopi Purple String beans, and Green Striped Cushaw squash. They were all grown by the native Hopis. Blue Hopi Corn contains 20% more protein than most other varieties of corn. Hopi Purple String Beans are a traditional Hopi bean that are true beauties with black and deep brown lines flowing on cream and purple. Great as a green snap or as a dry bean.Green Striped Cushaw Squash (C. Mixta) is an heirloom (pre- 1890's) variety that can not only be used for eating, but for ornamental purposes as well!
