Welcome to The Yaupon Tea, the vibrant heartbeat of Alliance of Native Seedkeepers - Bertie County Seeds. Named after the tenacious Yaupon holly—an iconic plant that’s been intertwined with our Indigenous lifeways for generations—this blog is where heritage meets horticulture with a dash of flair. Here, we stir up stories of resilience, share insights on sustainable seedkeeping, and dig deep into the roots of our cultural traditions.
Rooted in culture and unapologetically spirited, The Yaupon Tea spills the tea on our mission to revitalize ancestral agricultural practices, celebrate Indigenous resilience, and grow food sovereignty from the ground up. Expect a blend of tradition, innovation, and a little something extra—because that’s how we brew it.
