Jere Gettle
Jere Gettle always had a passion for growing things and at age 3 planted his first garden. Ever since that day, he wanted to be involved with the seed industry. At the age of 17, he printed the first Baker Creek Heirloom Seed catalog in 1998. The company has grown to offer 1300 varieties of vegetables, flowers and herbs—the largest selection of heirloom varieties in the US—and now has a presence on both coasts. Jere's goal is to educate everyone about a better, safer good supply and fight gene-altered, Frankenfood and the companies that support it. He and his wife Emilee have written the book, The Heirloom Life Gardener, which shares their excitement about gardening wit heirlooms. www.rareseeds.com
