Most commonly associated in Western culture as an ingredient in wild bird seed, millet has been cultivated for at least 10,000 years and is actually a decorative, nutritious and easy to grow cereal crop. Cooked, it can be used as a hearty porridge, couscous, fluffed like steamed rice or pureed with a consistency of creamy mashed potatoes. Millet is a good source of phosphorus, manganese and magnesium, and is gluten-free.This small seeded grass crop is fast growing and drought tolerant. It can also be used as forage for livestock.Â
All our seeds are certified organic and grown right here on the West Coast of BC.Â

I’ve been spoiled by Fiona’s chard and can no longer eat grocery store bought chard. Metchosin farm is a magical seed bank with some of the most unique and carefully created/birthed vegetables and fruits. If you live in the PNW her seeds will be the best thing you ever grow in your garden.
