SEED GARLIC COMING SOON...
There's nothing like fresh, home grown garlic to tantalize the senses!
Garlic is such a rewarding crop to grow in our cool, Maritime
climate (nothing like the high maintenance of eggplant!). Why not
put a few of our heritage, certified organic seed garlic bulbs in your garden this fall? Try our exclusive variety Carleton Queen - a new introduction this year.
Our very own "Carleton Queen" - growing back in May 2010.
Hope Seeds' organic seed garlic list
will be available exclusively on-line. We'll start taking orders
August 1st for September shipping (in time for fall
planting).
See what's new for 2010...
- Dozens of new varieties to tantalize tastebuds - including pea shoots from PEI!
- Catalogue en français! Francophone growers can download our French catalogue from our En Français link. Coming soon...
- Pay by credit cards...finally! We're now ready to accept Visa, Mastercard and AMEX payments. Details on our order forms.
At Hope Seeds, we're committed to offering our customers a unique
selection of high-quality garden seed suited to organic growing.
We know how important it is for you to have dependable seed for a
successful harvest - we're growers just like you, and our gardens
provide our year-round food supply! We produce much of our own seed,
and work with local organic growers (certified and non-certified)
to increase our local seed supply, and build a more secure local
food system.
Please feel free to let Hope Seeds know how we're doing, and how we can
become your favourite garden seed supplier. Contact us
with your
questions and ideas. We're always happy to hear from you. All the
best, and a bountiful harvest in 2010! Thanks for including Hope
Seeds.

Hope Seeds takes The Safe Seed Pledge
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 of 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.
