Ditto. Any good tips on non-hybrid seeds? $220 seems pretty steep for one acre’s worth.

Buy the seeds. Seal them in a container and freeze (do NOT use a frost freeze unit) until needed

OR

Buy heirlooms off the shelf at your local stores an do the same.

USE a dessicant.

Wendy's Heirloom Seeds (packed in cannister) $90 at Frugal Squirrels

Cannister of 16 non-hybrid seed packs $40 at eFoods Direct

Family Garden non-hybrid Seed Packs $39.95 at LifeSprouts (Their sprout seeds and sprout trays are a good thing to get and store, too. I use mine a lot for fresh bean sprouts.)

And don't forget Build an Ark for absolutely everything else.

Also a good idea to pick up a book about harvesting and saving seeds for the next crop.
