Why Buy Heirloom?

Heirloom seeds refer to open-pollinated plant varieties that have been passed down from generation to generation within a family or community, often for several decades or even centuries. These seeds are typically saved and replanted each year, and are not subject to genetic modification or hybridisation. They are valued for their unique characteristics, such as flavour, colour, and adaptability to local growing conditions, and are often used in organic and sustainable agriculture.
