A small family farm on the edge of Maine’s North Woods is located just six miles from the Canadian border.
For over 45 years they have dedicated themselves to time-honored organic regenerative farming practices and building up the fertile soil of Wood Prairie Family Farm.

Organic REV
The first thing to understand about REV is that it is not an ordinary humic acid product that is chemically-extracted from leonardite, lignite, or other coals.
Rather, it is a 100% naturally-occurring carbon, humic acid & fulvic acid source - along with exceptionally high levels of naturally-occurring microbial biomass
that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%. REV replaces depleted soil carbon & bacterial biomass - and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily
available to plants via their root systems.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, if you are like so many gardeners, January, maybe the time that you're really |
| 0:05.8 | starting to consider where you're going to buy your seeds, and if you've kind of gotten a |
| 0:11.1 | garden plan together, maybe what seeds you're going to buy altogether. Well, in today's |
| 0:15.8 | episode, I'm going to be addressing a topic that I get asked about a lot, and that is where I buy my seeds. |
| 0:23.7 | I'm going to go through which seed catalogs that I bought my seeds from last year in 2022, |
| 0:29.4 | and for the most part will remain the same in 2023. And you may be surprised that there are |
| 0:36.1 | quite a few sources that I buy from. |
| 0:38.2 | And there's a reason why I buy different seeds |
| 0:41.5 | from different sources. |
| 0:43.5 | I'm gonna share with you why I buy from each of these |
| 0:46.5 | what I choose mostly in each one. |
| 0:49.2 | And the pros and cons for each source, |
| 0:52.1 | if you're looking for different sources. But then at the end, I'm going |
| 0:55.8 | to give you a bonus tip on some other things to consider, particularly where I would be very |
| 1:01.9 | cautious about buying your seeds. So make sure to listen to the end for that. But for now, I'm going to |
| 1:07.1 | talk to you about my favorite places to buy seeds from. Welcome, I'm Jill, and 10 years |
| 1:13.5 | ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom looking to cut grocery costs and grow my |
| 1:19.1 | own food. Over the years, with many failures and successes, I stumbled my way into becoming a |
| 1:24.8 | gardener. And six years ago, I started this podcast to help others |
| 1:28.5 | grow their own food as well. By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope that you leave inspired and with |
| 1:33.9 | practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine. |
| 1:41.6 | This list that I'm going to be sharing with you isn't necessarily in any particular order |
