- The Ark Institute's Survival Seed Package
-
- First Come...First Served!!
-
- Hello to all! Thanks for your patience
in waiting for this announcement. As you know, I have been working to put
together a complete package of non-hybrid seeds essential for your survival
should Y2K and other food supply threats materialize. (See my Grain and
Food Supply Updates at www.arkinstitute.com if you are not up to speed
on these converging threats to our food supply.) I have been working with
growers/suppliers of these seeds to put together the right seeds in the
right quantities for the right areas of the country at the right prices
to provide you with the fastest, most reliable way to get up to speed now
before non-hybrid seed supplies dry up as they did last season. We only
have two gardening seasons left before Y2K hits, so you must get going
this summer if you are to learn how to raise your own food. If you decide
to buy seed elsewhere, great! Just do it as soon as possible. I'll list
what's in The Ark Institute's complete Package, so you can "shop
around." Just don't wait too long, okay? Okay. Here goes.......
-
- The Survival Seed Package contains enough
seed to feed a family of four all of the vegetables and legumes, fresh
and canned, frozen or dried, for a full year if grown well. You will not
have to plant all of your seed. You can save up to half of it as a back-up
for next year inc case of seed shortages or crop failures. In addition,
you will receive both grain corn and wheat for flours (multiply wheat this
year) as well as a collection of both culinary and medicinal herbs. Since
all of the seed is non-hybrid, seed harvested from any your garden vegetables
CAN be saved for next year and future years' crops. This Package will
literally provide you with the foundation of a lifetime food supply for
your family if grown and managed wisely. You'll receive seeds for ample
supplies of:
-
- Asparagus
- Spanish Onions Green Bush Beans
- Red Onions Yellow Bush Beans
- Yellow Onions Red Kidney Beans
- Scallions White Navy Beans
- Green/Red Sweet Pepper Pinto Beans
- Long Yellow Sweet Peppers Sweet Green

Salads

-
-
- Now, that's over 50 varieties of seeds.
Please note that the seed packages will not be your small sample packs
that you see in the store on the seed racks. The beans will be in half-POUND
and quarter-POUND packages. Same for the corn and wheat. Carrot packets
will plant thousands of carrots. Broccoli, 6-700 heads. Beets by the hundreds.
Lettuces by thousands. Just don't waste the seed, and you will have enough
to save some for a back-up next year.
-
- Freebies: Included with all Package orders
will be a free copy of my complete book on growing all of your own food:
Build Your Ark! How to Prepare for Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times...Book
I: Food Self-Sufficiency. This book is a one-stop manual that will tell
you how to plant and harvest your vegetables and fruits, fertilize, mulch,
fight bugs and learn to tell the difference between good bugs and bad bugs.
It's also a great guide to nutrition from your garden produce. If you
already own a copy of Build Your Ark, please pass it on to someone who
could use it. It's free. It normally sells for $22 + s&h.
-
- A free packet of The Ark Institute's
own Echinacea purpurea seed. Echinacea is the herb that Native Americans
used to fight disease and cleanse wounds. It's now used around the world
as a natural immune booster at the first sign of a cold. It is very expensive
in health food stores, but you can grow all your family needs from two
or three of these large, showy plants. We drink Echinacea tea from our
dried leaves at the first sign of a cold or flu. It works! This is a
$2.50 value.
-
- The Ark Institute will pay the shipping
in the continental United States. Yes, free shipping, and these packages
will not be light. You will save good money there.
-
- Okay, Price: $159 for the Package, delivered.
All Packages will be shipped no sooner than the end of February. Again,
folks, this is on a first come-first served basis. When seed supplies
begin to dwindle, as I expect them to, it will be very difficult to offer
complete Packages. At that point I will end the offer and then consider
repeating it next year IF the non-hybrid supplies are available. If La
Niña arrives this summer, expect a decrease in productivity of both
food and food seed this summer. The '88 event caused a loss of one-third
of the U.S. harvest. We do not need that this year, but must be aware
of the possibility. Okay, shop around, make a decision. To purchase the
Survival Seed Package, you can send a check or money order (U.S. funds
only) to: Seeds, The Ark Institute, PO Box 364, Monkton, MD 21111. Be
sure to include your name and the address where you will be planting your
garden. If you aren't quite sure of the address yet, let me know where
you expect to relocate to.
-
- For credit card purchases ONLY, call
1-800-255-1912. These folks cannot answer questions about seeds, but will
take your credit card order for me. If you have seed questions, please
email me, and I will get back to you right away.
-
- Thanks again for your patience as I put
this offer together. I trust you will find it was worth the wait. Best
wishes for a great garden this year ........Geri Guidetti, The Ark Institute
