About our seeds
All of our seeds are open-pollinated, Non-GMO, and grown using "beyond" organic methods. We received official USDA Organic Certification in August, 2015. All seeds not indicated as "Certified Organic" were grown following organic standards but prior to our applying for certification. Many of our seeds are heirloom varieites that have stood the test of time. Many more are newer varieties bred under organic conditions by regional independent seed breeders. We are a member of the Open Source Seed Network, so we have pledged to keep these independent breeders' varieties safe from patenting and available to everyone (www.osseed.org). You will also find a few "modern land races" (genetically diverse varieties) and variety mixes that offer you the opportunity to become a seed-adaptor/breeder yourself: just grow these out year after year and save seed from the plants that do best under your specific growing conditions.
We grow 100% of the seed we offer, so we have firsthand, detailed knowledge about each crop and each variety. All of our seed exceeds federal germination standards and is tested on a yearly basis. Basic growing instructions are included with each packet. For more details on growing dry beans and grains, download our free pdfs from the Growing Guides tab.
Unlike seed companies that sell hybrids (which need to be purchased every year), we hope that our customers will learn to save their own seed and share it with their friends and neighbors.
*NOTE: International customers must contact us in advance of placing an order to determine shipping charges and the possibility of seed importation. The burden of researching seed importation rules for your country is on you.
