The dark purple appearance of the GMO tomato reflects the hyped-up concentrations of the pigmented anthocyanin chemicals that are produced throughout the entire tomato fruit. 

GMO purple tomato seeds went on sale to individual stores including gardeners in the United States. It is the first genetically modified food crop to be directly marketed to home gardeners.

The changing climate presents many challenges for farmers. Applying Regenerative Agriculture practices that focus on soil health can make your farm more resilient to climate changes, help you grow more nutrient dense crops, and help reduce costs.

Our Family Farms, an Oregon 501(c)3 non profit organization, is hard at work defending the Jackson County GMO Free Seed Sanctuary created in 2014, supporting farmers, and educating policy makers and the community at large about regenerative agriculture.
