Where to find Tim Peters Perennial rye?

I have been interested in growing perennial grains but cannot find a good source for seeds. Can anybody help me out? It seems like the link to peters seeds is dead...

I too am looking for perennial rye grain.. and I think the rye grass is different? If anyone knows where i can find some, or swap me, that would be great.

This is the only place I've been able to track it down to. I ordered mine last week by mail (since I'm not in the USA), and I'd appreciate it if you would wait a bit before ordering to make sure that it won't be sold out before my order arrives

Holy hell! I didn't know about this type of thing going on outside the Land Institute.

Definitely worth some experimentation for such a price, methinks.

Update: purchased some! I will be doing my best to establish it on my budding homestead this year. Incredibly excited.

Found some documentation online from an ex-pat American who has tried growing this stuff in the Netherlands.

I have read that the perennial rye will actually live longer on poor soil than it will on rich soil.

An interesting read on Tim Peter's work:

Does anybody know what other plants, if any might be useful to interplant in a perennial rye patch?

This perennial rye grows 8 or 9 feet tall at harvest. Perhaps a low growing nitrogen fixer like clover would have enough light part of the year to use. I was just planning on using smallish monoculture blocks of it here and there. Grasses do well as monocultures.

hairy vetch worked for me, it will draw up grass stalks abit...

Well, today I received an envelope in the mail from Adaptive Seeds. I ripped it open to examine my rye and discovered it contained my money back with a pleasant note saying thanks for the order but sorry we're out of stock. Oh well like the old saying goes, No good deed will go unpunished. Sigh.

I think they sold out a long time ago, and their system just wasn't sophisticated enough to update when it happened.

I talked to them about it and they said they would try to offer more next year to keep up with demand.

I have a small amount of unthreshed "mountaineer" perennial rye that i could trade to whoever wants it. I got the original seed stock from PSRseeds a few years ago.

Check out The Land Institute: http://www.landinstitute.org/

They're focused on many perennial crops, including rye.
