Collection: Cicada Seeds (Errington 8a)

Michalina’s love of seeds and farming was sparked by growing up around her mom’s permaculture homestead and small seed company (Dragonfly Seeds). She holds a Bachelor of Arts & Science degree from Quest University Canada, where she focussed on Environmental Education and Ecology. For the last ten+ years she’s worked for climate action and farming non-profits managing communications, organizing events, and supporting farmers and gardeners. She started Cicada Seeds in 2021 to make perennial vegetables more widely available to gardeners and farmers. Michalina is passionate about promoting these varieties because of their benefits to soil health, farm ecology, and their delicious flavours. She lives on Kwalikum, Snaw-naw-as and K’ómoks territory in Errington near the kw’a’luxw (Englishman) river, at the base of ts’xuliqw (Mount Arrowsmith) on Vancouver Island with her partner, cat, dog, and lots of chickens.
