That's interesting! I would like to read the article if you can find it. I don't think that I have bought any seeds from those companies. I mostly use seeds from Baker Creek, Renee's Garden, and Peaceful Valley (groworganic.com). Both Renee's Garden and Peaceful Valley are located in CA.Be careful with this list. After the article was published, one of the big name companies (Burpee, FM, Johnny Select) said that they do have some seeds that come from Monsanto. I will see if I can find that article again.
