Our Non-GMO Safe Seed Pledge

At Caribbean Garden Seed, we believe that the integrity of our seeds is the foundation of everything we do. We are proud signatories of the Safe Seed Pledge — a commitment shared by seed companies, farmers, and gardeners who believe in protecting the genetic diversity and stability of our food supply for generations to come.

The Safe Seed Pledge

“Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative,

We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.

The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.”

What This Means for You

When you order from Caribbean Garden Seed, you can shop with confidence knowing that:

• We do not knowingly source, stock, or sell genetically engineered (GMO) seeds or plants
• Our seeds are open-pollinated and heirloom varieties wherever indicated, meaning you can save seeds from your harvest year after year
• We are committed to supporting biodiversity and the preservation of traditional seed varieties from the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, and the Americas
• We source seeds that reflect the living agricultural heritage of the cultures and communities they come from

Why It Matters

Seed diversity is not just a gardening preference — it is a matter of food security, cultural preservation, and ecological resilience. By choosing Non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds, you are participating in a global network of growers who are keeping traditional plant varieties alive, accessible, and in the hands of home gardeners and small farmers where they belong.
