Do we need Organic Vegetable Seeds Vegetables?

In today’s world, everything that has been labelled as organic attracts and sells.

Reason being the rampant use of chemicals by humans in the last few decades that has resulted in a host of health complications and diseases.

So, do we often get asked if our seeds are organic? Yes.
We also get a lot of enquiries for Desi seeds.

We sell OP (Open Pollinated) and Hybrid Seeds for home gardens.
These might not be organic, but you can still get organic vegetables and fruits using them.

Here’s how,

  • By using organic nutrients like compost, Vermicompost, and other organic ready-to-use fertilizers,
  • Organic control of plant disease.
  • Organic control of plant insects and pests with Sticky Traps & Pheromone based traps.

Fruits and vegetables grown in such a way might not get organic certified, but are no less organic than any similarly certified organic products.
