Re: Seed companies selling GMO seeds

**M* U* <e*@gmail.com>**

 There are quite a number of seed companies that have taken the "Safe Seed
Pledge", to not knowingly sell any variety that is GMO.

Underwood Gardens, which I sold last year, is one of them, as are the two
already mentioned, plus Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Territorial Seeds,
Nichols Garden Nursery, Seeds of Change, Abundant Life Seeds, Johnny's, Seed
Savers' Exchange, John Scheeper's Kitchen Garden and many more.

If you find the Safe Seed Pledge in a company's catalog or on its website,
it does not sell GMO seeds.

Hope this helps,
Mayo
