Norfolk Giant Growers are looking to start a new GPC weigh off in 2023.
WE would like to have a fund raising seed auction.
How do we reach out to the top growers for seed donations?

Norfolk Giant Growers are looking to start a new GPC weigh off in 2023.
WE would like to have a fund raising seed auction this winter, to raise money to fund the weigh off with prizes
How do we reach out to the top growers for seed donations?

Maybe start by posting your email address and making a list of growers you would like to contact your organization. maybe also reaching out to some of the other clubs to see if they would pass the message along. Even ask people on here if they can pass contact info along Look at the diaries and use the message envelope for some of the top growers that have diaries.
It may take a few years to build a good contact network depending how much effort you put into it

Do not forget the orange seed growers !! Look on the GPC info page and do not just go for AGs as some of the other seeds are wanted.

I didn't know Norfolk had any growers. I've been to Long Point and the Norwich area a number of times. Send my your home address and I'll send you some premium giant vegetable seeds for your auction [giantveg @ hotmail.com].

The GPC has not received any application from Norfolk Giant Growers to become a new site in Ontario. I think the cart is before the horse here, you should not be asking growers for high class seeds for an auction until your site application has been approved by the committee.
