THREAD. Do your seed shopping at Seed Savers Exchange, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, or https://t.co/ZHrfr61NaF instead. Do not patronize @rareseeds (Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds) while they're promoting this dude. https://t.co/KG9eFfldZ2





I was online browsing for heirloom tomatoes for this year. Hard pass now

They removed the announcement from their page, but he's still coming and they are responding to everyone's criticism with a ridiculous appeal to "tolerance" by claiming this isn't about his politics. That anyone could call that terrorist a "land rights activist" is insane.

It is a company that O found several years ago. Provides excellent organic seeds, but you may need to ask them about heirloom seeds.

I did look for heirloom watermelon seeds earlier this year. Some companies in that segment seem to be rightwing, but I was able to figure that out. Typically rightwing people let that slip out, you should know the signs to look for. There are also a lot of rightwingers/survivalists in the home canning, food preservation area also, it seems to draw in a lot of doomsday preppers.
