SUMMARY:Ecotypes\, Ecoregions\, and Restoration Agriculture with Dina Brewster
DESCRIPTION:Ecotypes\, Ecoregions\, and Restoration Agriculture with Dina Brewster\nApril 15\, 2026\, 7pm\nOn Zoom and in person at Congregation Beth Israel\, 701 Farmington Avenue\, West Hartford\nMembers are free; non-members $10\n(Members will receive the Zoom link the Sunday before the talk.) \nDina Brewster\, co-founder of the Ecotype Project\, will discuss her work with native plants\, specifically the development of a native seed supply chain in the Northeast. She is currently running a small seed company\, The Northeast Seed Collective\, off her farm in Ridgefield and will explore the ways in which her seed work enhances the life of her organic fruit\, vegetable\, and livestock operation. Future direction for the seed work will be a crucial part of the conversation\, as Dina is seeking ways to elevate the value of native plants in the northeastern landscape. \nDina Brewster is a farmer at The Hickories in Ridgefield\, CT: an organic fruit\, vegetable\, cut flower\, pastured livestock and restoration seed farm. For 20 years\, she has overseen the development of new products and new acreage as the farm business has grown. She also served as executive director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut. While there\, she co-founded the Ecotype Project\, a program that resulted in the creation of the Northeast Seed Collective\, a restoration seed business Dina now runs out of her farm. The Northeast Seed Collective’s goal is to increase the quality and quantity of native plants growing in our region. \nRegister here.
