Seed Independence
/Happy Fourth of July!
This year, celebrate your independence by harvesting and storing your own, non-GMO seeds for your personal and community gardens.
We found this great resource online, aptly called the Seed Saving Handbook, which covers all your bases; from seed-specific instructions to harvesting directives for heirloom seeds.
Here are a few great reasons to save your own seeds:
Create new varieties adapted to your growing conditions, your tastes!
Save money by saving your own seeds and/or trading with other seed-savers.
Preserve the genetic diversity of our heirloom food plants.
Empower your own personal breeding goals instead of the commercial goals of agribusiness seed breeders.
