2B Seeds to Offer Free Tomato Seeds, A Family Tradition of
Easing Hard Times
A Colorado man is giving away free tomato seeds. Why? Because Dan Busch's
great grandparents once handed out free tomatoes during the Great Depression as
a way to provide unemployed families with a way to supplement their own food.
Now, as owner of 2B Seeds, Busch is looking to do something similar for this
century's Great Recession, this time with vegetable seeds.
Broomfield, CO (PRWEB) March 10, 2010 -- Free tomato seeds.
They are one man's way to make a difference.
It may be a different time, but Dan Busch of 2B Seeds in Broomfield, Colorado,
will never forget the stories of the Great Depression in the 1930s that were
passed on to him by his great grandparents. His great grandfather was a tomato
grower during the Depression and he decided to give away free tomatoes at the
farmers market to all whom were unemployed and in need of finding a way to feed
their families.
Now 2B Seeds is looking to give back and follow their family's tradition in a
very big way by offering a free package of heirloom red tomato seeds to all who
are unemployed or in need of supplementing their food budget.
Vegetable gardens are on the rise and there will be 40% more of them this year
than there were just two years ago, states the National Gardening Association, a
non-profit gardening education organization. Bruce Butterfield, the group's
research director, says, "As the economy goes down, food gardening goes up."
Tomatoes are easy to grow and one plant can provide 10-20 lbs of harvest for most
families. The quality of fruit picked in the garden when fully ripe far surpasses
anything available in the market, even in season. Tomatoes are excellent for
canning, freezing, and drying.
Nutritionists have always known tomatoes were good for you, now there is
research-based information as to why. Tomatoes are high in vitamin C, potassium,
fiber and vitamin A in the form of health promoting beta-carotene, which the body
converts to vitamin A. With other vegetable seeds,
gardens can be planted to provide an effective, cheap way to produce needed
food.
Dan and his wife Linda own and operate 2B Seeds, an Internet business that
ships quality vegetable seeds, flower seeds and herb seeds throughout the United
States. Dan and Linda are not new to gardening, as they owned and operated a
greenhouse in Colorado from 1980 to 2004. Supporting charities and international
children's food programs has always been a custom for their family and their
company.
2B Seeds.com offers
information for the novice growing his first tomatoes as well as the ambitious
