Seeds for Your Garden

Since we have planted our Spring garden and it is doing so well, many friends and clients have asked us about seeds. With all the proliferation of Genetically Modified crops, it is really hard to tell if you are getting true non-GMO seeds. So much of our crop land is cross-polluted with GMO pollen, it is destroying our bio-diversity. The commercialization of farming has almost eliminated the true farmer. Heck, did you know that farming was no longer an occupation in the last census! What does that tell you. Huge agribusinesses have taken over our food production for the most part. They blend, mix and otherwise mess with what used to be traditional whole foods. Now it is mostly processed junk that will eventually kill you (see The Terrible Truth).

In any case, my old friend Joe from Texas sent me a few sites that provide non-GMO unadulterated 'heirloom' seeds for your gardens. Who knows if the near future they may be more valuable than the devalued US Dollar! If a 'blight' or other disease or bug hybrid develops and attacks these mono-crops, it would be devastating for soy, corn, cotton and many others.

ALso, get to know YOUR local organic farmer. They are around, sometimes you have to look a bit harder but they are there. Heck, they may be a neighbor who participates in a local organic coop. Seek and you shall find! It will be well worth the time and effort. We have links to sites, but check out Local Harvest for a listing of USA based Organic Farms.

Welcome to the Patriot Seed Store, your home for heirloom seeds! We are a family-owned company that focuses on supplying increasingly difficult to find non-GMO seeds to families and farmers in search of non-hybrid, non-genetically modified seeds. We package each order by hand to ensure correctness and freshness.

We carry 100% Heirloom seeds, non-GMO (non-genetically modified) and open pollinated which allows you to grow (at bare minimum) a full acre crisis garden.

Below are a list of seed companies. We have not done business with them, nor do we endorse or certify their products. It is just a list my friend Joe sent me. If you have or know of any negative experience with any of these companies, please let us know. Email us for issues or new suggestions to Seeds@wholefoods4healthyliving.com.
