| Tom of High Mowing |
It was interesting to visit a seed company--rarely would one imagine where the seeds come from. Just open the packet and follow the instructions. We learned from Tom, the founder of the company, that he collects organic seeds from over 300 acres across the United States. New England is a good place to gather seeds that come inside a fruit--squash, pepper, cucumber--and not lettuce as lettuce seeds can gather up viruses or bacteria that will be passed on to the new plant

In the building, we saw where seeds were sorted, packed and then organized for shipping. We also visited the demonstration fields as well as the growing fields.

High Mowing is front and center in the "conversation" with Monsanto regarding genetically modified seeds.
