Anyone have a source for seed crops? By that, I mean crops that can be grown for seeds for next year’s crops. Most hybrid seeds do not do well if you plant the seeds. I’ve seen the SHTF seed packages and I’m going to get some but their crop offerings seem rather limited.

Any advice / insight?

One of the best selections of heirloom seeds can be found here. Pick what you want rather than be "forced' into a package...
