They are anti-GMO activists. Their main office is in Missouri, but they have a fairly new outlet near me in Petaluma, California, and WOW did I get a lot of messages urging me to support Prop 37, which would have required the labeling of genetically modified ingredients in our food. Great heirloom seeds! Their Ali Baba watermelon is the best watermelon I've ever eaten (the raccoons concur), and was grown from seeds an Iraqi farmer sent the owner because he feared they would disappear during the Gulf War (they did disappear in Iraq). Just thought I'd give them a plug in case anyone here has a garden and doesn't know about them. http://rareseeds.com
