Non-Hybrid Seeds FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use non-hybrid (open pollinated) rather than hybrid seeds?

  • Better Nutrition – Commercial Produce lacks nutrition, research has shown.
  • Economic Security – In recessions and depressions, FOOD IS ECONOMIC SECURITY
  • Food Supply Independence – If food supplies or supply-lines are challenged, home gardening is freedom.

What are Heirloom seeds?
