MISSION ORGNIC
Everything we sell is 100% ORGANIC
Old heirloom seed varieties represent centuries of
careful selection and breeding for small-scale growers that have stood the test
of time along this journey and offer both a living link to our past as well as
a source of hope and resilience for the future. Organic agriculture should
sustain and enhance the health of soil, plant, animal, human and planet as one
and indivisible.
Our mission is to collect, store, and regenerate
the organic seeds of thousands of rare, heirloom, and open-pollinated varieties.
Heirloom seeds constitute a critical part of the nation’s agricultural heritage
and help ensure genetic diversity of plant species. We must protect this
foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. You
can play an enormous role in preservation by growing out heirloom varieties for
seed in your garden.
Everyone deserves to the benefits of
having a garden. Even indoor plants are proven to improve health through
consumption, reduce stress, improve air quality and overall happiness.
We need to remember that we are nature and not separate from it, and how we
treat nature has profound effects upon our society and the earth.
We are constantly searching, sourcing and
adding new varieties each season and continue to expand our large range of
flowers, fruit and vegetable seeds to the website. We also look for interesting
plants that are well known in other countries, and could do well in the UK, but
have so far remained relatively unknown.
Across the UK, there are a large number of
fantastic organic gardening groups, clubs, organisations and gardens supporting
local residents with their organic growing. Most gardens are quite small, but
there are 15 million of them in the UK. Imagine the improvement to the
environment if all these gardens were cared for organically, and how much
better it would be for our family, plants and wildlife.
Ancestry Seed Bank is hosting a forum under every
product and mission organic blog where we encourage all growers to add reviews,
comments and share organic gardening experiences.
We think science is beginning to uncover the
answers that explain our observations.
We are inspected every year by the Soil
Association, and the plant health seed inspectorate. We do not support the
development of genetically modified seeds and none of our seeds are GMs.
Thank you for being a valued customer and helping
to support our organic mission.
Bee the Change!
