Certified organic: Seeds harvested, stored, and handled under the guidelines required by the USDA & National Organic Program (NOP).
Heirloom: An open-pollinated variety whose seed lines have been maintained and passed down over 50 years by generations of gardeners and farmers, prized for traits such as appearance and flavor. All heirlooms are open-pollinated.
Heirloom is not synonymous with “organic.” Heirloom refers to the genetic makeup of a plant variety passed down through generations, while “organic” refers to how the plant was grown. An heirloom plant may be grown conventionally or organically.
Key points to remember:
Open pollinated (OP): A seed variety that reproduces true to type, producing similar plants generation after generation...
Open pollinated (OP): A seed variety that can reproduce itself in kind, demonstrating relatively stable traits from one generation to the next. Seeds saved from OP varieties will produce plants very similar to their parents. Hybrids will not.
Open pollinated does not mean “organic.” It refers to how a plant is pollinated, not how it’s grown. However, most organic seeds are open pollinated, allowing gardeners to save seeds for future seasons.
