grown in China.

I have never heard this before. I had heard that the employees bought the company and now run it. Where did you get this information, Jason?

Why on Earth can't we grow all the seeds we need right here in the USA and supply companies like Johnny's and hundreds of others selling to market farmers and gardeners with all they need.

Answer: Do our own. Start our own seed production industry and supply vendors who only buy from us or US producers and are non gmo and also naturally grown if possible, chemical fertilizer otherwise but no category of pesticides used.

I have always said that we need our own alternative economy and our own alternative farming an gardening network, and....our own network of bona fide, accredited, cerfified practitioners, teachers, PDC offerings,
workshops, seminars and conferences.

I also suggested a computer/Web-based network to help make this possible:
PSPMDN
Production and Services Production, Marketing and Distribution Network,
local to national to international. This would be made up of the smallest local entities, i.e. homestead, hamlet, village, town, city, county, region, state, national region, nation, international.

I would add these companies to the tip top of the list:
Wild Garden Seed
Siskiyou Seeds
Uprising Seeds
