Collection: Heirlooms
Heirloom seeds are varieties that have been passed down through generations, for at least 50 years and are open pollinated.
Heirloom varieties contribute to genetic diversity of our food supply are not genetically modified.
Heirlooms represent a wide array of genetic variations passed down through generations, unlike the relatively narrow genetic base of many modern crops, particularly those grown as mono-cultures.
This diversity means that if a pest or disease outbreak occurs, there's a greater chance that some heirloom varieties will be resistant, providing a buffer against crop failure.
Heirloom varieties also offer a broader range of nutritional qualities and flavors, contributing to a more diverse and balanced diet. Heirloom are valued for the ability to be saved and replanted and are known for their unique flavors, colours and textures.
Open-pollinated, not chemically treated, Non-GMO, non-hybrid, heirloom seeds.
