The place is, www.growpennycress.com and there is a phone # (Minnesota) to talk to 'Seth'. At the time I'm typing this I'm going straight to voicemail as I think he's on phone. For the permaculture people, they might be willing to provide seed if enough want it. (I know this stuff, where I grew up it was a rampant weed; some places have issue with it because of 'invasive' status. Montana is in the native range of it) Maybe it will take just having to send some people out from the lab area to hunt some up and gather seed? I started phonetag, I'll post updates.

As for 'just about to post this' .... great minds think alike?
