The Svalbard Global Seed Vault officially opened Feb. 26, 2008, when it received its first shipment of 100 million seeds, originating from more than 100 different nations.
Known as the 'doomsday' seed vault, it is a global insurance policy, ensuring that a diverse variety of food crops survives threats such as disease, pests, droughts and other natural disasters, and global warming.

As the technology of genetically manipulated food grows more and more controversial, it's always nice to know there are people doing it the old fashioned way. I have purchased many packets of seeds from SOC, and always look forward to receiving their colorful catalogs in the mail. - Scott
In 1989, Seeds of Change started with a simple mission: to help preserve biodiversity and promote sustainable, organic agriculture. By cultivating hundreds of open-pollinated, organically grown, heirloom and traditional vegetable, flower and herb seeds, we have kept to this mission. Click here for more About Us.
Seeds: Our seed list is like our extended family. They are the plants we live with day-to-day, nurturing them as they nurture us. So we choose carefully what we add to our list from year to year. In 2007 we welcomed 72 new intros to the Seeds of Change family and continue to cultivate more throughout the year.
