In the investigative documentary Food, Inc. viewers learn that corporate agriculture harasses and intimidates farmers who try to save patented soybean seeds.

HVSL is the only place I get my seeds from. They are swell, awesome people and you should buy their seeds too. This article is a little confusing because it is about free seeds at public libraries (which is AWESOME!) but the hudson valley seed library is something that you purchase a membership for. anyway, check them out!
