Why plant heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds come from crops that have been grown and passed down for generations without cross-breeding, genetic modification, or hybridization. All heirlooms are open-pollinated, which means that they are naturally pollinated by insects, birds, rain, and the wind. By planting a wide range of heirlooms, you will increase biodiversity in your garden and improve soil health.
Heirlooms are renowned for their desirable traits. Since heirloom seeds breed true to type, you can harvest seeds from what you grow and plant those to get the same crop. You gain self sufficiency because you can cultivate a continual food supply. As soon as you start growing heirlooms, you will notice the richer colors, flavor, and taste in comparison to the produce sold at the grocery store. You will also receive more nutrients, minerals, and vitamins for your health.
Heirloom varieties date back from between seven decades to hundreds and even thousands of years ago. Heirloom crops have stood the test of time by outlasting generations of gardeners. You can continue heirloom legacies by growing them yourself and sharing them with your friends and family.

Love how the seeds are packaged-able to re-close the envelope. Great labeling also! Quick shipping after order was placed, will definitely be ordering more! Thank you!
Matthew provides a large number of high quality seeds with great information and resources about effective growing practices.
Love this company and their mission. Enjoyed a very successful harvest last year with the Cherokee Tomato varieties. Planted those again along with the Moneymaker variety in seedling pots . Due to the warm spring we’ve had in zone 7, they’ve been outside a lot and sprouted without the week. So gratifying.

Fast germination in less than10 days. Goes handinhandwithall my seeds thisseason. I'm in zone10 so most of them have been transplanted outdoors already. Matthew provides fast shipment and very high visiting seed..
Oh yeah, the lettuce is happening this year!
I just recently purchased some seeds (Waltham Butternut Squash, Red Russian Kale, Large Cherry Red Tomato and Boston Pickling Cucumber) from My Health Forward. I won't plan the seeds until next year, however, because of Matthew's integrity and the quality of all his products, I have no doubt these seeds will produce great yields. Every purchase from MHF has been excellent.
This is the only place I buy seeds. Terrific company.
Seeds were delivered quickly, however when I ordered them it was late in the season to plant this year. With Health Forward's reputation, I know these seed will deliver great results.
I am so glad someone is preserving our precious non GMO seeds! Arrived in perfect shape ready to plant!
Germinated right away and already growing fast!
It’s growing well!
After just a couple of days, my seeds for Summer squash are popping out of the dirt, healthy and green! I’m thrilled with all the seeds I have purchased from My Health Forward. They all are happily growing! I will definitely order again!!
