Text: THE ARK INSTITUTE'S SURVIVAL SEED PACKAGE (The following information comes from THE ARK INSTITUTE Website) 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. 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? Here goes: The Survival Seed Package contains enough seed to feed a family of four all of the vegetables, 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 in 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 couple of 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... This package was designed to be nutritionally-balanced, yet have broad taste appeal. 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 the thousands. Just dont waste the seed, and you will have enough to save some for a back-up next year... If you don't plan on planting this year, the seed CAN be saved for 3, 5, even 50 or more years. Instructions will be included with your package... THE ARK INSTITUTE will pay the shipping in the continental United States. Yes, free shipping, and these packages are not light. You will save good money there. Please provide a street address if possible. We prefer to ship UPS, as the packages will be insured and will be easy to track. Price: $159 for the package, delivered in the continental U.S. Add $10 for airmail shipments to Hawaii. Sorry, I cannot ship seed to Canada or offshore. If you want more than one box of seed and do not want or need a second Build Your Ark book, you can have the second package for $134. To purchase the Survival Seed Package, you can send a check or money order (U.S. funds only) to: Seeds THE ARK INSTITUTE P.O .Box 142 Oxford, OH 45056 Be sure to include your name and street address if possible. Physical street addresses will be sent UPS and are trackable. Post office boxes will be sent USPS and are not trackable once they leave THE ARK INSTITUTE.
