MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD OR SILVER IN A REAL MELTDOWN...Survival Gardening
COULD IT HAPPEN HERE? We see the stories on the news everyday- Droughts, floods, tornados, declining bee populations, genetically modified foods, civil unrest, climate modifications/changes, just to name a few. Survival gardening is no longer just idle talk by a few naysayers. Your backyard garden could very well be what stands between you and your next meal. Heirloom seeds can provide fresh food for you and your family in the aftermath of a disaster or a period of financial loss. Of course, diasters can occur at anytime and anywhere and take many forms. Not all disasters are dramatic and natural. For some people a severe economic downturn can be a disaster. Having garden seeds on hand before a disaster strikes is like having homeowners or rental insurance. You hope you will never need it but should the need arise you will be thankful that you have it.
There are many types of garden seeds available. Seeds stored for a survival garden should be heirloom varieties. These types of seed are capable of producing viable seed for re-planting. Hybrids seeds are not recommended for a survival garden because they are not capable of reproducing themselves true to the original variety. For a Survival Garden it is critical that you purchase large quantities of bulk, non-hybrid seeds and it is best if they are packaged for long term storage. You can practice your gardening skills now with smaller heirloom packs and put away bulk seeds for later. One of the best ways to buy seeds for a crisis garden is to buy a bulk quanity of heirloom seeds that have been specially packaged using the VAULT method to maintain viability for long term storage.

Could you feed your family for a year, 2 years or more from your garden if you had to?
THE VAULT™ SYSTEM is the only choice for certain longevity in your seed purchase.
The Heirloom Organics exclusive VAULT™ method of seed preparation produces up to TWICE the SHELF-LIFE of “normal” seeds. The VAULT™ system is based on the seed preparation techniques pioneered at the National Seed Storage Lab of the US Department of Agriculture in Fort Collins Colorado
|
The VAULT� system uses an advanced moisture-modification and double-sealing process to ensure maximum EXTENDED SHELF-LIFE (up to 10 years in a good environment). Moisture-management packets are sealed inside all inner packages to maximize sustained seed germination rates over the longest period of time. All Heirloom Organics Main Packs (Seed Vault, Family, Homestead and Farm) as well as our Grains Pack are then ALSO sealed into heavy-duty, water-proof/moisture-proof , open-and-reseal green pails for maximum protection.
Doomsday Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway  |
  The Doomsday Seed Vault, (Global Seed Vault or Arctic Seed Vault), uses long-term seed storage methods as well, however this is a multi-national, multi-corporate (Monsanto and Bill Gates are major contributors) project to store every seed type on earth in case of world-wide catastrophe.

Stored at extremely low temperatures in underground vaults drilled into an arctic mountain and locked away from danger. According to seed vault representatives this vault is protected against pole-shifts, asteroid collisions, nuclear war, earthquakes, floods and cross-pollination from genetically modified plant life. This video gives an account of the project.
