One way to get GMO-free seeds is to save them yourself. One wonderful way is to just save them from your summer produce. If you have great tomatoes that you love, you can just save the seeds. One easy way is just to squeeze out the tomato and the seeds into a jar, and then you let you sit it for a few days. A little mold will grow on the top. And then by the 3rd or 4th day, you can get rid of the mold and rinse off the seeds. And the ones that are viable will sink to the bottom. The ones that aren't will rise to the top, and you throw those away.
And those you dry out in the sun and then you put them in an envelope and you grow them next spring. So that's one good way. And another way to get your organic seeds is through these companies that can send you seeds online. And there's three of them. There's BotanicalInterest.com, SeedSavers.com, and BakerCreekSeed.com.
