Nearly 70 Seed Companies Take Seed Integrity Pledge for Safe Seed to Provide Non-GMO Seeds

Seventy garden seed companies have taken the Seed Integrity Pledge for Safe Seeds, a new initiative to ensure a non-GMO seed supply is available to home gardeners. The initiative was launched by GMO/Toxin Free USA to raise awareness about the increasing availability of GMO seeds, none of which have been safety tested, in the consumer market, and to provide a resource for non-GMO seeds.

We want to encourage as natural as possible

The Seed Integrity Pledge campaign actively promotes seed companies that have pledged to not sell genetically engineered seeds, aiming to help them survive and thrive.

To date, nearly 70 seed companies have taken the Seed Integrity Pledge for Safe Seeds, and more are signing every day, according to Lakin Bayless, project manager at the Seed Integrity Pledge for Safe Seeds. Some of the companies that have taken the pledge include Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in Missouri, Fedco Seeds in Maine, Territorial Seed Company in Oregon, Hudson Valley Seed Company in New York, and Prairie Road Organic Seed in North Dakota, to name a few. Many of the pledge companies sell certified organic seed.
