Les Refardes seeds

Les Refardes is a cooperative that works from Mura (Barcelona) to recover, preserve and spread traditional vegetable seeds, many of them almost disappeared from commercial cultivation. All their varieties are the result of years of selection by local farmers, adapted to organic cultivation, resistant and with an authentic flavor. These seeds have not been genetically modified, are not treated with chemicals and can be freely reproduced.

Varieties adapted to organic and local cultivation

In this category you will find seeds of traditional tomatoes such as Rosa de l'Etern, Cor de Bou or Teta de Monja; peppers such as Pebrot de Banyeres or Bitxo de Girona; and summer and winter lettuces such as del Sucre or Negra de la Terra Alta. They also offer seeds of pumpkins, carrots, onions, cabbages, beans, peas, garlic and many other garden crops, as well as flowers perfect for attracting pollinators. Their catalog is focused on the family, school or community garden, as well as small farmers interested in agroecology and food sovereignty.

Who are these seeds ideal for?

Les Refardes seeds are perfect for people who grow naturally, both in urban gardens and rural spaces. They are also an excellent option for schools, cooperatives, amateur or professional gardeners who wish to produce tasty, nutritious and chemical-free food. They are seeds with history, with soul, designed for those who want to reconnect with the land.

A project committed to agricultural biodiversity

Beyond selling seeds, Les Refardes promotes peasant knowledge, food sovereignty and agroecology. They offer workshops, publications and collaborations with seed exchange networks, promoting the active conservation of local varieties. Thanks to their work, many species that were in danger of disappearing are alive again today in gardens throughout the country.
