How fresh are the survival seeds in seed banks?

You should know that the seeds in all seed banks comes from the latest crops available. All major suppliers are constantly rotating stock to ensure that your seed is the freshest possible to have the longest possible shelf life.

How do you really get the most for your money?
This is actually very simple: your goal is to get the maximum amount of survival seeds for the least amount of money. You should always buy Seed Banks directly from reputable suppliers like these on our website. No distributors or agents. Investing in the survival seeds can be one of the most important investments you will make, so you must be sure that you get the most survival seeds possible for your money.

Are the seeds packaged for long-term storage?

USDA indicates two factors that are important in preserving the vitality (or germination rate) of vegetable seeds: the temperature and moisture content. It is recommended to reduce seed moisture content before the sealing them for long term storage. This procedure will increase the shelf life of vegetable seeds in relation to their “normal” duration, and this procedure is done by all survival seed suppliers listed on our web site. If you buy seeds for yourself or your family, your return on investment is the rate of germination (the percentage of the seeds that will sprout and become plants). Low germination rates would lower your return on this investment, so always buy survival seeds from well respected supplier!

If vegetable seeds and survival seed banks become hard to obtain and dramatically increase in value, will I be able to sell my seeds?

If the economic crisis continues, or turns into hyper-inflation, commodities will become more valuable than money. In these extreme conditions basic necessities such like food and vegetable seeds are becoming the most valuable goods at your disposal. In such situation, while the value of money falls, the value of survival seeds, gold and other precious metal will grow.
Survival seed banks, which are actually a concentrated food-sources, could become the most valuable commodity!

Survival Seed Bank Vs. Emergency Seed Bank

Well, after investigating this subject thoroughly and looking at all the emergency survival seed banks on the market, I’ve come to this conclusion: although there is about a dozen different survival seed banks on the market, I like only two: Survival Seed Bank and Emergency Seed Bank.

Both seed banks have hand picked seeds which can grow in almost any climate, soil type, harvest time and other requirements.
Survival seed bank not only includes a whole lotta seeds, but also a special 81page manual about starting and growing your survival garden using heirloom seeds.

On the other hand, Emergency seed bank is having a sale and for only $199 you now get now one, but two seed banks! (usually one seed bank, depending on the manufacturer, costs from $119-$150).

I just bought another emergency seed bank and it arrived today. from the time I made an order, it was about 10 days – speedy, if you ask me!I opened the container and found about two dozens of smaller seed packs (cabbages, carrots, onions..) and 8 large seed packs (beans, peas, corn…). All the seed packs are sealed in some sort of plastic foil which looks really sturdy.

Now I have to find out the best way to sore seeds for an extended period of time? Any recommends would be appreciated!

Survival Seeds – Heirloom Seeds

It seems to me that lately it is becoming increasingly harder to find good survival seeds, maybe it’s this time of the year when the demand for vegetables seeds is increased naturally. Still, there are places where you can buy non hybrid organic vegetable seeds to plant a survival garden.

With the uncertainty of the economy, lately I have begun my search for some open pollinated survival seeds, preferably in some kind of vault or survival seed bank, which could last for a long time.

Because of this economic uncertainty in our country and abroad as well, many folks are storing survival seeds along with other emergency food supplies, essential for long term preparedness.

At first, it can be a little confusing to know what to look for when buying the best survival seeds or choosing appropriate survival seed bank for survival gardening purposes..

Survival seeds are always open pollinated and frequently heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds have been passed down for generations and are preserved in particular region of the country.

Heirloom seeds and open pollinated seeds are great choice for survival seeds especially if you can get them sealed in an pack that will preserve them for a long as you need them to be preserved. And that’s where survival seed banks come in handy!

There is something really motivating about planting your own garden and growing vegetables. Gathering your own seeds and storing them knowing that you are set for the next planting season no matter what happens to the economy..that’s just priceless!

The beauty of it is that once you DO find your survival seed bank – you will be set for life as far as survival seeds go, unless you simply don’t harvest them in the fall.
