If you don’t want to deal with F2 plants, the alternative is “landrace”, which are collected seeds specific usually to a microbiome. They germinate with the most appropriate genes already activated (epigenetics) in the germ line. Instead of getting seeds from some company in Pennsylvania or Oregon you get them from grandpa or the guy at the other end of the valley, where the soil and weather patterns are identical. And you keep it that way.

The F1 person might also want to buy your seeds because he has access to another landrace variety from far away and wants to cross them.
