Narköy is home to a unique seed bank, developed through decades of dedicated work by its founder, Nardane Kuşcu. This special collection preserves over 1,000 heirloom seeds, safeguarding agricultural heritage and promoting biodiversity for future generations

 

Mother Seeds

Heirloom seeds, which play a vital role in preserving biodiversity, sustainability, and food sovereignty, are free from GMOs and patents—and have the ability to regenerate year after year. Naturally adapted to the conditions of their native region, these seeds tend to be more resilient to drought, disease, and the impacts of climate change.

Nutritious and Delicious

Heirloom seeds produce crops with richer flavor and higher nutritional value, offering significant benefits for both health and gastronomy. Driven by its mission to preserve and pass on these seeds for future generations, Narköy is committed to safeguarding this invaluable natural heritage.
