I'm fairly certain because:

1) I get 90% of the seed I bring in from a superbly managed local farm, Mewalt Organics.

2) I get the other 10% of the seed I bring in from a USDA certified organic producer in California.

3) I produce roughly half my own seeds. I have never had a plant fail to produce seed, or had those seeds fail to germinate. Evil companies like Monsanto typically "turn off" the reproduction genes in seeds in order to lock you into buying from them for each crop.

4) There is no large scale GMO-based agribusiness near me nor the places I get seed from. At least not yet.


I'll get some photos this evening, all.
