I have been looking for large quantities of buckwheat seeds (alforfon in spanish) without success. Could anyone help or direct to a place, business or person that could assist me.

Thanks

Question why are you looking for buckwheat?
I have not seen it in the mercado lately or never.

it is not for cooking purposes but agricultural. Buckwheat is a great weed control crop for organic agriculture and its flowers give honey a lovely taste...

BUT, i can't find any in large quantities (300lbs+).

By the way, if you tell me where I can get in town a delicious serving of buckwheat pancakes, topped with blueberries and maple syrup, I'll tell you where you can get large quantities (300lbs+) of local buckwheat seeds.

By the way, buckwheat (trigo sarraceno or alforf?n) is not grown in the DR.
