Seed libraries have been established in a number of public libraries across the country the past few years, and now one has been established in a college library. Applauding this initiative are 4Patriots LLC officials, who offer the Liberty Seed Vault.
Nashville, TN, United States - January 26, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
With the goal of fighting food insecurity in Bennington, Vt., three students at Bennington College have launched a seed library as part of their independent study, according to a story this week from the Associated Press.
The public seed-sharing library, which is free to use, was developed at Crossett Library through the Center for the Advancement of Public Action. The initiative was promoted at the Bennington Farmer’s Market.
Many seed libraries have been sprouting up in various areas of the U.S. over the last few years. Often housed in actual libraries, seed libraries are places where borrowers can “check out” seeds to plant in their gardens and then return some of the seeds from their harvest for other borrowers to use.
Officials at 4Patriots LLC commend these students for this project. They also recommend that people use only open-pollinated, non-hybrid, non-genetically modified seeds in their gardens, and remind people that they are free to have their own stockpile of non-GMO vegetable seeds to use for planting, growing, harvesting, replanting and storing for the future.
Providing a path to independence and self-sufficiency, 4Patriots offers the Liberty Seed Vault . The air-tight metal storage container includes more than 5,300 heirloom seeds from 22 varieties of vegetables including broccoli, spinach, carrots, squash, corn, tomatoes, onions, beets and zucchini. Each order is accompanied by four guides and a 100 percent money-back guarantee.
“After growing and enjoying these nutritious vegetables, gardeners can use the seeds from the harvest for next year’s crops, so they never have to buy seeds again,” said 4Patriots Partner Allen Baler. “This strategy provides additional benefits because it allows people to be less affected by food shortages and increasing food prices.”
Genetically modified foods are plants or animals that have had genes copied from other plants or animals inserted into their DNA. While farmers have been selectively breeding plants for centuries, this type of manipulation is done in a lab, speeding up the process by transferring a gene from one plant or animal to another. The engineering is done to create certain traits, such as resistance to herbicides.
SurvivalSeeds4Patriots is the premier source for heirloom, non-hybrid, non-GMO seeds people can use in their gardens to grow nutritious vegetables. Containing more than 5,300 heirloom seeds from 22 varieties of vegetables, the Liberty Seed Vault allows people to achieve independence and self-reliance, despite whatever food shortages and price increases might occur.
