Fruition Seeds with Petra Page-Mann

Here are the highlights of Seeds with Soul with Petra Page-Mann.

Who is Petra?

Petra is a farmer whose passion for food and people spills over into everything she touches. In 2012 she founded Fruition Seeds to share seeds, knowledge and inspiration gardeners need to be more successful in the Northeast. Her belief is that seeds and people have the power to change the world.

Overcoming Life’s Struggles

On a personal note, being an extrovert Petra finds it’s all too easy to look externally for validation. Page-Mann is conscious that she needs to draw on her core for self-confidence and love.

On a business note, over 80% of seeds sold are owned by 1 company. Being one of the few truly independent seed companies and scaling is no easy road.

Gleaning from the qualities of genetic diversity, much like her farming ecosystem, Petra knows that she can not do it alone. She taps into her Community and trusted resources in times of need. With the mindset that we have the power to connect, rely on one another’s strengths, and rise above any hardship, she cultivates this throughout her life and business. 

Shining a Bright Light

Petra shared how the words of a fellow 106-year-old gardener have influenced her life. He said, “You are what you think. You are what you eat and drink.” Her mindset of curiosity, passion, and love is what drives her on a daily basis.

I loved my time with Petra because:

She is a warm, golden ray of sunshine nourishing everything and everyone around her (literally and metaphorically). She is a shining example of what a true Community looks and feels like.
