List of Heirloom Vegetables Planted in 2014

This year, I ordered my heirloom vegetable seeds from both Baker Creek Seed Company in Missouri, and Turtle Tree Seed Company in New York.  Here's a bit of info about Turtle Tree.

We are a small non-profit seed company that sells 100% open-pollinated vegetable, herb and flower seeds. They are all grown using biodynamic and organic practices both in our seed garden and by other farmers and gardeners who use biodynamic methods. All our seed is non-GMO, non-hybrid, never treated, and grown without the use of chemical inputs. We are part of a Camphill Village in Copake, NY, a life-sharing community which includes people with developmental disabilities. People of all abilities help with growing, cleaning and packing our seeds. Another aspect of our mission is encouraging and educating people who want to grow and save open-pollinated vegetable, herb and flower seeds.
