About Us & Our Farm > Our Guarantee
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 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. 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, to genetically
diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities." -Seeds of Change (from the Council for Responsible Genetics, www.gene-watch.org )
