Now, who to avoid?
Added May 21, 2013 Please note: No home garden seed is GMO (for now). However, I want to make it clear that just because the seed is safe, doesn’t mean buying any seed from any company is a good idea. Many, many companies are supplied by Seminis (owned by Monsanto), who sell both GMO and no-GMO seed. The seed you get may be safe, but by buying from companies who support GMO, you are supporting GMO yourself.

These are companies currently, or at one time, known to sell seeds from Seminis and/or Monsanto. If you think a company doesn’t belong here, email with with information about the company’s seed practices. If they are supplied even in part by Seminis/Monsanto, they won’t be moved to the safe seed list, even if they sell no GMO seed.

If a company is on this list but also on the Safe Seed list above, it generally means that they’ve agreed not to sell GMO but are still supplied by Seminis/Monsanto.

Burpee – I get dozens of emails a month about Burpee. They admit to getting non-GMO seed from Seminis. As stated above, my goal is to in no way support Seminis/Monsanto/GMO, therefore, they will stay on the avoid list.
