Hello South Coast permies!
This is farmer Justin from Mano Farm in Ojai. I am writing to announce the official opening of 'All Good Things Organic Seeds,' our local, bioregional, certified organic seed company!
We are a certified organic company that offers vegetable, herb and flower seeds grown at Mano Farm
in Ojai, California. We are committed to offering home gardeners and
small organic farmers versatile, open-pollinated varieties that are
adapted for organic growing conditions and perform well in diverse
climates.
At 'All Good Things Organic Seeds' the small-scale nature of our operation allows us to emphasize quality during every step of our seed production:
- Our seeds are hand harvested, threshed and winnowed in small lots.
- We do germination tests on all seed lots at least twice a year to insure our customers receive a quality product.
- Our seeds are stored under climate-controlled conditions.
- Because we are also farmers, our seed breeding practices go
hand and hand with our vegetable production. We do grow-outs and trials
of every variety we offer to our customers and only offer varieties that
show vigor, disease resistance and variety specific uniformity.
Southern California gardeners now have a source of organic seeds that
were grown in THEIR climate. This is important, as the seeds we grow and
sell are adapted to the conditions of this bioregion: the rainfall,
high and low temperatures and fluctuations in between, as well as pests
and diseases present in this area. We are excited to be an important
piece of the puzzle that is bioregional self-reliance and
sustainability!
We will be adding new varieties to our website every month, so be sure
to check back often. We appreciate your support and any and all
feedback! Here's to the growing sustainable food movement of SoCal!
in gratitude,
Justin Huhn & Quin Shakra
