Long-Term Storage of Seeds
The long-term storage of non-hybrid and organic seed varieties is not only a logical alternative to keeping the food chain free from control, it is becoming a geo-strategic imperative for counter-balancing the move toward globalization of the world's food supply.

Long Term Storage Processing and Packaging
Preparing and packaging seeds for long-term storage is a vital step to ensuring the healthiest seeds with high germination rates for the most successful yields over time. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has developed methods for long term seed storage at their National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation in Fort Collins Colorado.

All of our seed sets are processed and packaged in strict compliance with the USDA standards and practices for long term storage of seeds. Each set includes individually packaged varieties that are sorted, processed and then sealed together in an extra durable .6 mil plastic outer package, then housed in an outer pail for extra protection.
