Heritage Seeds
It is important, now that the world’s seed stock has been seriously tampered with by large corporations, that people know where to get real seeds that produce honest-to-goodness food that has not been cloned or altered. Please feel free to pass along this list to as many other people as you can. Blessings, PMH

Great list of heirloom and heritage seed suppliers! I add a few more and provide a way for people to find the online sources for heirloom tomato seeds and plants for over 1,000 heirloom tomatoes in my e-book, "Heirloom Tomato Secrets," which will be published in June. You can look up the name of the rare variety you want and see where you can buy it--it saves hours and hours of searching online!
