Sowing the Seeds of Self-Reliance for Forty Years
Welcome to The Ark Institute's new website! While officially still under construction, we hope you'll find most of what you need is already here and just a button's click away.
We have been multi-tasking as usual, and this new website has been a big part of our ongoing work.
Our test gardens are being planted and carefully labeled and tagged for plant variety, disease susceptibility or resistance, drought tolerance, adaptability, yield, etc. Evaluation of old and new varieties of non-hybrid and non-GMO vegetable, garden fruits and herbs is an ongoing process here, as candidates for new Ark Institute seed collections are chosen. Just click on our Seed button, above, for more details on this season's new collections. In the coming days, we will be adding detail to all of our pages in the hope that you will find The Ark Institute an outstanding and reliable resource in your effort to achieve robust health and perhaps, greater food self-sufficiency in these very turbulent and worrisome times.
In fact, due to historical food and water supply challenges currently facing our nation and, indeed, the world, The Ark Institute will be posting new information, articles, educational and support materials to this website on a daily basis. Food supply updates, global water updates and all issues that affect the availability and access to food and water will be posted under the linked pages in the box on the left side of this page. We expect that the FAQs, frequently asked questions and answers, will become a rich resource for those wanting to learn more about self-sufficiency gardening. See the FAQ button, above. We hope you will visit often to see if there is something new that will help you in your efforts to stay on top of what could soon become life and death issues.
A big thank you to all of our long-term friends and customers for your continuing support of our work, and welcome to all new friends and customers. As we continue to build out our new and better website, we hope you will give us a call or email us to ask any questions you don't see posted yet, or to ask for any product you don't see on the new site. We are here to help. Stephen and Kristin will return your phone calls if our lines are busy, so please leave your name and phone number. We promise it will go no further. Our toll-free number is 1-800-255-1912.
Okay, back to work with me! Until my next message, stay safe and well.
Geri Guidetti, Director, The Ark Institute
