We do use the heirloom seeds when we find them. We find that these companies have bred them to grow bigger and with stronger resistance but they have bred the taste right out of things. All our heirloom veggies taste so much better. We can tell when we open a canned jar of heirloom vs the genetically modified as soon as we taste it.

I will take a look online and see what I can find with Monticello seeds.
