A Message From Karianna, Owner and Founder

Many of the top economists are saying the economic slump will only get worse and a few top level economists are predicting that we are headed for a 2nd Great Depression that will make the Great Depression of the 1930's look like a cake walk because back then most people had there own gardens and saved their own seed to plant the following year and could feed themselves and their family. Now days there are very few people who grow their own vegetables but the trend of growing your own fresh produce is growing like a weed. If you live in an apartment, don't think or have the misconception you can't grow a significant amount of your own fresh produce. Believe it or not you can even grow quite a few vegetables on an apartment balcony if necessary.

Don't just think of floor space on your balcony because many veggies, herbs, and fruit can grow in hanging pots as well as containers on the ground. So think about floor to ceiling. In other words container veggies on the ground, more container veggies above those on sturdy tables, benches, etc, that will not block too much sunlight from the plants below and then above the plants on benches have hanging pots. If you would like more information search the web for balcony and container gardening,

The top 3 basic elements for sustaining human life are:

• air which is abundant and free
• water which falls from the sky and can be collected from rivers, lakes and off of the roof when it rains for free and filtered
• food

Unfortunately, food is not as readily available when the prices of groceries are too high at the store for most to afford and most are hybrid or genetically modified and have been sprayed with raid like substances called pesticides which are poisons.

Organic foods at a grocery store are sold at premium prices and are therefore priced out of reach for most budgets. You could try foraging and eat what grows in the native habitat around you, but much of it can be quite unpalatable and quite dangerous to collect and consume if you don't know what you’re doing. You could poison yourself and your family; this is why it only makes sense to have a large variety of open pollinated and heirloom seeds for a family garden so you can grow nutritious food for eating, or trade etc. Many people have also been stocking up on food storage, which is a great idea but once you have depleted your food reserve and groceries are to expensive to buy to feed yourself and family what will you do then? That is why it only makes good and prudent common sense to have a wide and large variety of heirloom and open pollinated vegetable seeds to be able to grow your own food. It also gives you a sense of pride, well being and security.
