I see that now Urban Farmer is classifying our Tiger and Bumble Bee lines as
F1 hybrids.
They say this is where they get their seed from:
At Urban Farmer we produce over 40+ varieties of seed each year from our farm in Westfield, Indiana. We always select the best strains of the varieties we grow, resulting in higher yields, uniform growth, and delicious flavor. Our goal is to preserve as many heirloom vegetable varieties for future generations as possible. In addition to producing seed on our farm in Indiana we work closely with with a network of growers both in Indiana and across the United States to produce seed for us.
It seems to me that if they were truly sourcing their seed from farmers (or growing it) they would know that our released varieties are not hybrids. But since they are re-packaging seed purchased from Johnny's, they obviously have no clue -- even though Johnny's does not label our varieties as F1 Hybrids.
