ACQUIRE ORGANIC, HEIRLOOM, AND OPEN-POLLINATED SEED

The future generations of the world are dependant upon safe food. Genetic engineered (GE) seed may bring biological risks and possibly other consequences including alterations in world politics that impact the global economy and cultures. Look for seed that is organic, heirloom, and open pollinated. Many reputable seed organizations and companies realize the possible danger of GE seed to plant families, genus, and species.

A LOOK AT A NATIVE ORGANIC GARDEN

The Three Sisters Garden consists of growing beans, corn, and squash together. There are benefits to the plants and soil by doing so. Pole beans grow up the corn stalk and add slow releasing nitrogen to the soil. Nitrogen fertilizes the corn, which is a heavy nitrogen feeder. The squash offers a ground cover that deters weeds and helps maintain moisture in the soil.

Listed below are sources for organic, heirloom, and open pollinated seed free of laboratory genetic engineering:
