On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8th, we carry all of our heirloom seeds into the church where they are blessed. The Immaculate Conception marks the time of abundant fertility in the lineage of Jesus. The perfect seed is passed on from within Mary's womb.
When seed companies like Monsanto genetically engineer seeds, they often genetically engineer them so they do not reproduce seeds year after year. As Vandana Shiva says, when the Seed Corporations bless their seeds they say, "let this seed be terminated so profits may be abundant." And the heirloom seedling grower says, "let this seed be fruitful and multiply, so harvest will be abundant. "
We made this video of saving and blessing our heirloom seeds on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

GM Corn Causes Organ Damage: Eat Heirloom
This is a recent study that indicates that Genetically Modified corn causes organ damage in labratory rats. This report draws out the connections between genetically modified food, which is present in the vast majority of American food and ill health effects.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is made of mostly genetically modified corn. Food items more often than not have high fructose corn syrup as the main ingredient. It is quite difficult to go through the day without injecting High Fructose Corn Syrup which was created taking GM Corn and placing it through a , in a process similar to make crack and in fact the heating of the High Fructose Corn Syrup actually creates a dangerous chemical.
THE U.S. needs to ban the use of Genetically Modified Organisms, particularly from mainstream human-consuming agricultural food system. GROW HEIRLOOM.
Here's the the most simple breakdown between hybrids, heirlooms, genetically modified, and open-pollinated.
We only grow heirloom seeds at our greenhouse, on our way to establishing a seed bank like so many other passionate farmers who value the health of people and our inheritances from the land.
