Here in NZ we've got an organisation called seed savers. They've got branches all over the country. You pay a very small joining fee, then donate whatever non-hybrid seeds and plants you can spare. Others do the same. If you want any of their seeds you pay a small fee. There's a similar organisation in Aussie. The idea is to avoid losing genetic diversity. More than 90% of food crop varieties that existed here 150 years ago are gone. Most of the varieties available aren't especially productive but they're hardy. The head of the Aussie organisation and his partner live in Darwin. They've been to places like Afghanistan to help grow plants like grapes and carrots that can survive desert conditions. There may be a similar organisation in your country.

From an already grown plant - I believe the seeds from hybreds reverse to one of the original parents.

Type in "seeds" in the search area. A bunch of listings will come up and some of them will offer seeds from the original, antique varieties of vegetables. You'll have to do some work but you can find what you want.
