Organic growing helps to protect the environment, improves soil and encourages biodiversity. Using organic seeds means that you are supporting organic farmers and acres and acres of land under organic management.
Tamar Organics started as a small organic market garden in 1994. They have been registered as producers with the soil association since that time. They added their processor license in 2000 when they became one of the first UK companies to offer organic seeds.
They are inspected every year by the Soil Association, and the plant health seed inspectorate. They participate in the GMO audit. They do not support the development of genetically modified seeds and none of Their seeds are GMs.
