Sowing the Seeds of Self-Reliance for Forty Years
The Ark Institute's 100% Non Hybrid, Non GMO & Heirloom Seeds
for Really Healthy Eating and Real Food Security
“The best seed anywhere!” That’s what our customers have been telling us by phone, mail and email for 11 years now and frankly, nothing makes us happier. Delicious vegetables and garden fruits grown from our nutritionally balanced, 100% non GMO, non hybrid seeds will not only nourish families with healthful, fresh and preserved foods but, unlike store-bought hybrids and patented GMOs, their seed can be saved for future crops. Now that’s food security! And our seed packets contain many more seeds than those you buy at the store, so you will have food to preserve and even to share if you grow them all well.
See three different food self-sufficiency seed collections, including our new, complete package designed for growing food indoors and/or in small spaces, below. Think of them as your own
"ark" for navigating these turbulent times.

A note from Geri Guidetti, our Director: "Please order right away if you want seed for 2009 and 2010. Seed and carryover food stocks are declining rapidly around the world, and global demand is accelerating. The Ark Institute currently has what we feel will be sufficient seed for 2009, but we are unable to project even the near future under current global security and economic conditions. As you might suspect, families are scrambling to find ways to become more self-reliant as they lose their jobs and even homes. We want our new and long-time customers and friends to have the seed they want now and when they really need it."
