Where do our seeds come from?
Most of the seeds in this catalogue are grown on our farm. We don’t grow all our own seeds because the seeds of certain crops/varieties are difficult to produce in our climate and we don’t have the space to grow everything. To offer our clients a broader range of options we carry some varieties from other seed companies and a couple local seed growers. We do trial these varieties on our farm to make sure they are adapted to our region.
You can read more about seed production on our farm on Dan’s seed growing blog (http://goingtoseed.wordpress.com).
We have signed the Safe Seed Pledge
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
