Sow True and the art of the humble beginning

Back when the frost was still coating dormant garden beds, Sow True Seed, the only local purveyor of non-hybrid, non-treated, open-pollinated vegetable and flower seeds, announced its partnership with the Appalachian Sustainable Agricultural Project, wherein it now donates 30% of profits (from online, telephone or in-person sales) to ASAP, as well as exclusively sponsoring that nonprofit's Growing Minds Farm to School program.
Spring planting is now segueing into summer, and while the Sow True-ASAP alliance still thrives, it's not all tilling and no toasting. On the latter front, the seeds are sprouting a new reputation, becoming a highly fashionable favor at receptions, especially as the popularity of green weddings continues to grow. All packets can be customized with the couple's name, and price includes set-up (discounts kick in with orders of 75 seed packs or more).
Anonymous favors with no regional flavor just won't do anymore ... even on such a seemingly micro level, the go-local fever can take firm root.
