why i am growing heirloom

with all of the other ‘issues’ in the news, the stories i focus on most often are the ones related to economy, climate change- and food. my thought is- you can live under tyrannical regimes as long as you have water, food and shelter- in that order. my concern is that we are going to get to a time when we don’t have. corporations pretty much have full reign these days- over every aspect of our lives. if you don’t believe me, well, that’s fine. you don’t have to- all you have to do is read the news. from cloned meat and genetically modified vegetables; to forcing farmers all over the world to use their seeds; to working towards buying up water, multinational corporations control the basics globally. it isn’t just about them making the goods that we buy- it’s about them owning us. think about one thing in your home that isn’t touched somehow by a corporation. go ahead.
