Places to buy long term stored seeds?

Hello people,

We've been storing up long term food like MREs and Mountain House freeze dried foods for a while. Now we're thinking of storing up seeds. Does anyone know a good place that sells seeds already boxed up for long term storage? They need to be heirloom seeds as well.

Thanks
Ray

You might consider posting your question in the Survival & Emergency Preparedness forum if you have not already done so.
Hopefully this link will work.

Great question, I don't know the answer. I hope someone might come along with some insight though. I know that you can seal a meal your seeds and put them in the freezer for pretty much ever. But I don't know any other way to make em last.

Mountain valley seeds has #10 cans of pks of seeds.
But you might want to pk your own and freeze them instead. Or if you have food saver you could buy in bulk and pkg them with that.
It would depend on how much youu want to have on hand and what you want to spend.

Hey sorry about that,

I figured seeds and Gardens go together.

Territorial Seed has a "Victory Garden" in a sealed bucket. I just saw it tonight in their catalogue.

Thanks people, those kits are just what I'm looking for, they even come with Herbs. I'm not sure I could live without my herbs like Rosemary. I even put some in my stored food supply
