A little more about Urban Farmer...
Urban Farmer Heirloom Seeds
They stand behind the preservation of heirloom and traditional seed varieties. Heirloom and traditional varieties have endured because of their time-tested value to generations of gardeners and farmers. Whether for their great taste, high nutrition, or vigorous growth, they are trying to preserve as many of these treasured varieties as possible. They offer both open-pollinated and hybrid seeds, all of which represent agro-biodiversity as well as value to the gardener, farmer, and consumer of the end food products..
Urban Farmer's Philosophy
At Urban Farmer, we want to preserve and develop seeds through organic and natural mating methods. We want to teach young and old the value of farming and the great benefits that come along with it. We believe in the value of a re-built food system that can naturally support the worlds population through health environments, healthy economies, healthy communities and healthy bodies. Everyday that we are in business, we are working to provide an essential component in the re-building of our healthy food system.
Safe Seed Pledge by Urban Farmer
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, Urban Farmer pledges that they do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or 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. They 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, they wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities.
Eco-friendly Products
Urban Farmer was founded on the use of recycling old magazines and using them to package seeds. They recycle thousand of magazines each year to give them another use. Since then, they have searched and offered eco-friendly products that have leave a smaller fingerprint on our eco-system.
