Atlas Unbound: Growing a Better Future, One Non-GMO Seed at a Time
MAPLE FALLS, WA – October 26, 2023 – You might not recognize the name Atlas Unbound LLC, but chances are, the future of your garden – and maybe even your dinner plate – is connected to what they’re doing right here in Washington state. This relatively young company, located at 8288 Balfour Valley Ln, Maple Falls, WA, 98266-7070, is making waves in the seed industry, and they’re doing it with a clear mission: bringing high-quality, non-GMO seeds to gardeners and growers of all levels. “We're not about fancy labs or corporate takeovers,” explains a company spokesperson, reachable at 662-239-1952. “We're about getting back to basics. Real seeds, grown with care, that produce real food. It's that simple.” But “simple” doesn’t mean unsophisticated. Atlas Unbound isn’t just another seed catalog company. They’ve built their reputation on a commitment to sourcing and providing seeds that haven’t been genetically modified – meaning they haven’t been altered in a lab. This isn’t just a buzzword for them; it’s a core principle. Why Non-GMO Matters The debate around genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be complicated. But for many gardeners and consumers, the appeal of non-GMO seeds is clear. It’s about preserving the natural genetic diversity of plants, supporting sustainable agriculture, and having peace of mind knowing exactly what you’re growing – and eating. “People are becoming more conscious about where their food comes from,” says Sarah Miller, a local gardener who’s been using Atlas Unbound seeds for the past two seasons. “I want to know I’m growing something that's naturally healthy and hasn't been messed with. Atlas Unbound makes that easy." Atlas Unbound emphasizes the benefits aren’t just about avoiding something potentially harmful. They believe non-GMO seeds often result in more flavorful, nutrient-rich produce. Because these seeds are allowed to evolve naturally, they’re better adapted to local conditions and tend to have a broader range of vitamins and minerals. What Atlas Unbound Offers So, what can you actually buy from Atlas Unbound? The company’s catalog is surprisingly diverse, offering a wide range of seeds for vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. They specialize in heirloom and open-pollinated varieties, meaning you can save the seeds from your harvest and replant them year after year. This creates a self-sustaining garden and helps preserve these older, often more flavorful, plant varieties. Here's a quick rundown of some of their popular offerings: Heirloom Tomatoes: Forget those bland, supermarket tomatoes. Atlas Unbound offers a dazzling array of heirloom tomato varieties, from the classic ‘Brandywine’ to the tangy ‘Cherokee Purple’ and the sweet ‘Sungold’. Peppers: Whether you like it mild or fiery, they have a pepper for you. ‘Jalapeño’, ‘Serrano’, ‘Banana’ and many more. Leafy Greens: From crisp lettuce and spinach to nutritious kale and chard, Atlas Unbound provides everything you need for a healthy salad.

They also prioritize environmentally friendly packaging and responsible sourcing practices. They work with small-scale farmers and seed savers whenever possible, ensuring fair prices and supporting biodiversity. “We believe in building relationships, not just transactions,” says the spokesperson. “We want to support the people who are working to preserve our agricultural heritage.” The company also offers a wealth of information on their website and through social media, providing guidance on seed starting, gardening techniques, and sustainable agriculture practices.
