OVERVIEW: This section
of our web site is intended for those folks who
either already rely on their gardens for all or part of
their daily food supply or for those who are
interested in taking their gardening hobby to the
next level. Whether you call what you do prepping,
homesteading, survival gardening, or victory
gardening, we hope that you will find this resource
useful.
As a foundational principle of the Victory Seed
Company's primary mission, all of the seeds offered
by us are open-pollinated and in the public domain.
With some practice, any of them can be grown to
maturity and seed saved from year to year. Our seeds
are quite literally, seeds for survival.

What is a Victory Garden anyway?
|
 |
The classic definition of a
Victory Garden, also known as "War Gardens," is well
founded in human history. The most recent example of
widespread, small scale, citizen food production occurred during
World War II. You can
click here
for a presentation on that era of subsistence gardening (there
is value in learning about our ancestor's efforts).
In the context of our modern,
chaotic,
confusing and crazy times, when wars are being declared on
concepts (i.e. hunger, terror, drugs, etc.) instead of
against enemy nations,
there are many reasons to raise your own food. Some of these
include:
|
-
Ensuring your access to pure, healthy, real
food.
-
To save money on your food budget.
-
To connect to our agrarian past.
-
To practice food sovereignty.
-
To express your personal
freedom over the food industry and governmental
authority.
The list is endless
and very personal. Whatever your motivation,
declare your Victory and plant a garden today.

Regarding long-term storage,
seed banks, survival seeds, seeds for prepping . . . If you are worried about an uncertain future
and are thinking about spending your money on one of
the many off-the-shelf seed products sold by
opportunistic merchants, please consider the
following . . .
simply storing seeds on a shelf for "someday"
is not a good form of insurance and therefore a bad
prep.
Seeds are living,
breathing entities and like any living thing, their
life expectancy is built into their genetic code.
Preparing for disaster and food shortages requires
more than seeds on a shelf. It is more about
learning and continually developing your gardening,
seed saving, and food preservation skills. It
needs to become part of your lifestyle. Like
any learned skill, it will be time well spent!
The reality is that
seeds die over time. Even under professional storage
conditions of ultra low seed moisture and subzero
temperatures, seed banks must schedule regular grow
outs to ensure the survival of seed varieties.
Nature intended for seeds to be planted, to live a
full life, and to make more seeds.
Besides, there is no such thing as a "one size fits
all" garden in a can. Aside from personal taste
preferences, your climate and skill level will
affect your success with specific plant varieties.
There is no reason to buy one of these products with
varieties that are included only based on what the
seller could cheaply find in bulk. |

INFO
One of our basic needs
as human beings is the nourishment of our bodies.
Learning to produce some of your own food is
rewarding financially, physically, mentally and
spiritually.
If you are worried
about an uncertain future and never want to
experience hunger, a good form of insurance is not
to simply store seeds for that proverbial "someday."
You will be greatly disappointed. Instead,
begin to actively garden and learn to be a seed
saver. |
