Heirloom

Heirloom seeds may be defined as those which are traditional or grown only in a specific geographic area, or which are not genetically engineered, or which are rare and in danger of extinction.

For websites focused on the sale of heirloom seeds. Sites must include product descriptions and prices, and provide shipping across a wide area.

Websites focused on education or discussion of heirloom seeds should instead be submitted to Science/Environment/Biodiversity/Agricultural/Seed_Savers.

Organic

This category lists sites that sell organically produced seeds. The definition for organic (with a little "o") used here is that the seeds have been produced using Earth's natural resources and which have not been exposed to chemical pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides. This can include seed that is wildcrafted or produced by small organizations. In the U.S., such producers may be exempted under the USDA National Organic Program's annual sales total allowance.

Only sites that sell organically produced seeds will be included in this category. Indicate whether all or part of your seed inventory is certified organic. If not all of the seed on a site is certified organic, it must be clear to the site visitor which seeds are certified, which are grown organically and not certified, which are grown conventionally, wildcrafted, treated, etc.

Specify if the site submitted is certified under the USDA National Organic Program standards for providing Certified Organic (big "O") seed.

Read the "Category Description" for more information about what sites are appropriate for this category.
