Live Simple. Live Sustainably. Live Free.
Self-sufficiency, sustainability, sovereignty. All of these words come to mind when thinking about heirloom seeds.
When you purchase heirloom seeds from Maximum Off Grid, you can start a legacy for your friends and family, your children, your children's children, and for generations to come by saving the seeds of these precious fruits and vegetables.
We must work now to protect genetic variation within our food system.
We are losing many varieties of delicious and hardy heirloom produce as monopolies on seeds usurp small seed growers not only in America, but all over the world.
Did you know that only 4 huge seed companies control over 60% of the world's seed supply?
When monopolies take over, we lose diversity and stability, no matter what the industry is.
These giant corporations use GMOs and hybrid seeds to get a desired output of produce. This results in the plants losing genetic variation and becoming weaker to pests and noxious weeds.
We also lose beautiful species of delicious fruits and vegetables in exchange for corporate profits and longer shelf life.
What about food stability? When we give all the power to a few, we also give them control over what ends up on our table. And if something goes wrong, we end up with inflated food prices and loss of variety.
We can turn the tables by growing our own food and saving our seeds.
Just one fruit or vegetable produces hundreds, if not thousands, of seeds. Let's practice what our forefathers and mothers did back in the old days. Let's promote food independence and seed sovereignty for generations to come. Let's teach our children to garden and to save the seeds.
Maximum Off Grid teaches self-sufficiency, sustainability, and off grid living techniques. We grow food on our 30 acre ranch here in Southern Arizona. Check out www.maximumoffgrid.com for information on how to go off-grid.
