Tip #12
Become an educated, globally-aware and informed, conscientious consumer.
A part of our vision is to help solve the problems that we humans have created and in doing so, we know that it’s imperative that those of US that have lost their "green" thumb or never had one to (re–)learn how to cultivate food. As this is the case, we began selling organic fruit, vegetable, and herb seeds in 2007. Two years later, we increased our supply of heirloom seeds and have continued to do so because we must protect, support, and preserve our seed heritage and family–owned businesses (many of our seed suppliers are family businesses).
Our seed heritage must be preserved for future generations and this generation must "bridge the gap" and reconnect people (primarily in the West) with Mother Nature, including seeds that were sown 111 or more years ago—before the introduction of hybrid seeds and the genetic creation of GE seeds and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).
With the seeds that we sell, we decided to think "outside the box" and use packaging that is multi–functional, long lasting, and durable. We know that single–use disposable products and petro–chemicals/synthetics have made their toll on the health of the environment and our well–being.
