    ALL SEED PACKS ARE $ 3.00 EACH

We grow only heritage seed varieties. To us this means open pollinated,have been around for over 60 years back to 1850 (some beans 1700′s). Not bred or crossed intentionally but that they have their original genetics intact. These seeds only need good soil, warmth and moisture to grow. All plants are grown here at our farm in real soil without watering or spraying any other supplements. We do not use inoculates for any of our seeds. All bean & pea plants dry out in the garden and are processed and cleaned by ourselves. Most seeds I have been growing for years saving , regrowing and have observed  they do adapt to their environment. Our priority  is the nutrients these heirlooms provide and the energy we get from consuming them. The better quality our food the less we need.
