Buying
organic seed is important because it guarantees that your seeds not only will
be untreated with fungicides, but it also means that you are supporting and
encouraging seed farmers to stop using toxic chemicals. Certified Organic Seeds
are harvested from certified organic crops. They may be a hybrid or heirloom
variety. In order to qualify for the USDA Organic certification, farmers must
seek out organic seed. If they cannot find organic seed, they are allowed to
use conventional, untreated seed.
Three
reasons to plant organic seeds:
Keep on building the organic seed
supply: Simple logic—the more organic seeds we buy, the more
encouragement we give organic seed farmers to maintain and expand the genetic
diversity of the seeds they grow. That way we’re all contributing to more
diversity of plants that thrive in organic farms and gardens.
Best
suited to growing in your organic garden: Organic farming methods are different
from conventional farming, and the plants that do best in organic conditions
produce seeds that will also succeed in your organic garden.
