Here is a web site listing places where you can order non-GMO seeds from. Why non-GMO and what is the big deal?
Genetically modified organisms are a product of those who want to have a monopoly on the food industry. They tell you that by genetically modifying seeds, we can produce a lot of food at a small cost. That is what you get when you want the convenience of a grocery store. But what is the trade-off?
Food that is genetically modified, does not contain the nourishment that the original plant had. It is not nutrient dense, so to speak. Also, the seeds are patented, so that if you want to plant genetically modified seeds, you would have to have the license to do so, or at least, the place where you order the seeds from will have the license.
There have been farmers who were sued because some pollen from genetically modified plants made its way into the farm. The farmer was unaware that he/she was growing this genetically modified food and governmental authorities tested their plants and found the genetically modified seeds in their crops. Because the farmers did not have money to fight back in court, they lost the case. But.... a woman who had money and was being sued for this took Monsanto to court and she won!
The simple answer is to just buy heirloom seeds. But that can limit variety of what you might be able to plant in your area. Some have done the research and found the plants/seeds that have not been tampered with. They have helped take the guesswork out of trying to hunt down plants and seeds that are safe to use in our gardens.
