What a heartfelt conversation with a true pioneer of Israel's heirloom seeds with Harel Weiss from Nativity Seeds.
Harel is a true unsung hero of our region.
Biggest takeaway : The power of shifting from a place of anger to a place of peace. Putting the hands in the soil.
Harel is the founder of Nativity Seeds, Israel. The only dedicated heritage seed company actively regenerating and collecting indigenous and family seeds in Israel.  
After a scholarship in Seed Savers Exchange in Iowa, Harel took his education and passion and poured it into developing awareness of the critical importance of heritage seeds in Israel.  Starting from virtually nothing and with no significant support network, Harel has worked over the last 8+ years developing his knowledge and bank of seeds endemic to this region, with the goal of sharing these incredible lines to a global audience.   
One of the thigs I really loved about this interview was the down to earth humbleness of Harel, and the quiet courage he displays, as he keeps growing and promoting visceral awareness and knowledge of the seeds f the Holy Land.  
I felt really honoured to share Harel's growing success story.
Biggest takeaway : The power of shifting from a place of anger to a place of peace, and putting the hands in the soil.
Hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
