Aphids getting you down? Got the Powdery Mildew blues? Weeds taking over? Take action! Achieving organic control of pests IS possible with our wide selection of organic weed & pest control solutions! It is well known within the sustainability movement that an integrated approach to pest control is the best way to go. Technically, the term is "Integrated Pest Management" (IPM), and it basically means applying several well-considered methods of control to address a pest problem. If you are new to organic growing, the big change will be from the "silver bullet" approach (using one, highly potent chemical to achieve total eradication), to a "systems" approach; viewing a farm or garden (and its inhabitants) as a part of the greater ecosystem. This kind of systems approach will expand your view of how to address a problem to include cultural control (ie-physical manipulation of the environment by pruning, placement of plants, cleaning, etc.), biological control (ie-using natural enemies including insect predators, disease, and parasites), and applying least-harmful pesticides derived from natural sources. IPM requires good conscientious observation, knowledge of pest lifecycles, tolerance for minimal damage, and patience.

Reasons to Buy Our Organic Seeds

Grown Without Synthetic Pesticides

Conventionally grown seeds come from plants that grew in the fields even longer than food crops and are likely to have had even more exposure to synthetic pesticides and fungicides to keep them viable as seed producers. Organic seeds are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides and fungicides.

Certified Organic

Our Peaceful Valley brand vegetable seeds are CCOF & USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO and Open-Pollinated (with the exception of hybrid seeds). You can be sure that the crops grown from our seeds are of the highest quality.

Guaranteed to Germinate

Our Peaceful Valley brand vegetable seeds are guaranteed to germinate! If they do not, just contact us and we'll be happy to replace them.
