On the Pulse

FROM A HUMBLE DONATION ...

WE'RE "ON THE PULSE"

In 2025 we received from the Bega Seed Savers group an extremely generous donation of heritage bean seeds. Slow Food Hunter Valley distributed over 120 packets of these seeds to over 47 registered growers, a dedicated group of gardeners we now call “The Pulse Community”. The Pulse community is committed to donating half of their first crop back to us at Slow Food Hunter Valley.

The aim of this project is to build a huge seed bank of bean seeds that we can give away through our Seed Library and also have a surplus to share with another community seed library.

If you want to join the Pulse Community, please contact us by completing the form on our Contact Us page.

To find out more about how important beans and legumes are for human health and both local and international food security, see Slow Beans.

Acknowledgement of Place

Slow Food Hunter Valley acknowledges that we live and work on the lands of the Wannaruah, Worimi & Awabakal people, who cared for and shared the abundance of our Mother Earth, sustainably, for thousands of years. They inspire us in our vision of good, clean, fair food for all.

We wish to pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging.
