The Safe Seed Sourcebook

Council For Responsible Genetics

"Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative,

We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.

The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities."

The companies listed below have signed the Safe Seed Pledge for 2006. We encourage you to support them in their efforts to preseve the integrity of our seed supply.

I can vouch for the Natural Gardening Company. I order their vegie starts every year (if you want 'em order EARLY) and they just do splendidly even in my limited growing season area.:)
