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).

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.
