How far away can the seed origin be, and still be considered local genotype?
Experts differ as to what exactly is considered “local seed”. It has been shown that a species can vary more genetically in different conditions on the same site, than it sometimes will in similar conditions in another state. Some purists think that seed should be from within 25 miles to be local, while most think the limit should be around 200 miles. Our seeds will grow outside of this area, but cannot be considered local genotype. 2006-2009 Everwilde Farms, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
