Are our seeds organic?

Our MM-seeds are not officially organic, unofficially they are
Our seeds are not officially organic, but unofficially they are. That's because the seeds are not certified organic, but they come from growers who work in a completely eco-friendly way and without pesticides.

So, our seeds are not processed and aren't coated with anything that's harmful to insects. They're also not genetically modified (non-GMO) and don't come from Monsanto either. To us, this is super important. You don't grow your own vegetables for nothing 🙂
