2. What do the abbreviations mean in your product names?
"ORG" means the seeds are certified organic.
"LOC" means the seeds were grown locally in Indiana.
"UNT" means the seeds are untreated (naturally grown but not certified organic).
3. Are your seeds genetically modified?
No. We carry only non-GMO seed. We are supporters of the Organic Seed Alliance and 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."
4. Do you grow your own seed?
Most people are surprised to learn that the majority of seed companies buy their seeds from wholesale distributors. Our sister company LIFE Certified Organic Farm grows about 10% of the seeds we sell and we plan to increase that amount every year. We are also working to identify other farms in Indiana that can supply us with high quality seeds. Until we have a strong local supply network, we will continue to purchase high quality organic seeds from national distributors. Every variety we offer is field tested by LIFE Certified Organic Farm to ensure it will succeed in Midwestern gardens.
