Why Buy Heirloom Seeds?
Heirloom seeds are making a huge resurgence, and with good reason. Besides producing fruit with a fantastic old timey flavor, these seeds have adapted over time to be resistant to pests, diseases and weather extremes. They are a wonderful link to the past, and have been handed down from generation to generation, hence the name “heirloom. ” Early immigrants to America often carried hidden seeds with them, from their native countries, just to have a taste of home in a their new land.
Heirloom seeds are true to type, and can reproduce themselves. In other words, when you plant an heirloom tomato seed and a tomato grows, you can harvest, dry and store the seeds from that fruit to grow more of the same type tomatoes. This creates a chain of sustainable food for families. This has become of interest lately, due to our fragile food supply chains, rising food costs and our unstable economy. Many people seek security in knowing that they can grow and sustain their own supply of food. Many others are simply tired of the bland tasting produce they receive from the local grocery store.
