Petaluma Seed Bank...


 Located in the historic Sonoma County National Bank building downtown Petaluma. One cool place to go...take the kids for sure. There is lots to do downtown .....after you are finished fussing over which seeds to buy for your garden.......or little farm! There are thousands of choices one can pick from. The help there is totally outstanding too. Got questions...they have answers.

 
Did you know that most brand packets of garden seeds that you buy......that the seeds have been  genetically engineered ? Grow a Butternut squash and then save the seeds.....they will not sprout. Also....food derived from genetically engineered seeds in my opinion...Silly Putty has more flavor!

We bought a whole smorgasbord of Heirloom seeds to experiment with. I am looking for unique veggies to grow for the marketplace. Everyone has tomatoes. We will have Cherokee purple tomatoes for example. This next two years ....the farm will be test growing many varieties of veggies...to offer our clients something exciting.....oh...and yummy!
