Non-GMO means that the seeds have not been genetically modified in a laboratory. Non-GMO seeds offer a more natural and diverse option for gardening and farming.
Heirloom seeds are open-pollinated and can be saved and replanted for multiple generations. Hybrid seeds are created by cross-pollinating two different varieties of plants and do not produce seeds that will breed true to the original plant.
Sustainable farming is a method of agriculture that emphasizes the use of natural resources and traditional farming techniques to produce crops without relying on chemicals or genetically modified organisms. It promotes soil health, biodiversity, and long-term ecological balance.
Sustainable Seed Company sources their seeds from a network of farmers and seed producers who share their commitment to sustainable agriculture and preserving heirloom varieties.
While heirloom seeds may produce fewer overall fruits or vegetables than their hybrid counterparts, they often offer superior flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Additionally, because heirloom seeds are often adapted to specific growing conditions, they can be more resistant to pests and diseases in certain regions or climates.
