How long will it last?

Remember... Treat all seeds as if they're a living organism. They will naturally lose viability over time and it's your job to make sure that they've got the best environment to survive (We've already provided the safest packaging). 

The viability of seeds will vary for each type, but our heat sealed and moisture proof resealable packaging will help to keep them healthy for years to come. 

At room temperature, you can expect your seeds to survive from 3-7 years. Stored in a cooler climate, you could easily expect a lifespan of 7 to 25 years. (especially when frozen)

Room Temperature: 3-7 Years
Refrigerated: 5-10 Years
Frozen (Recommended): 15-25 Years

Our packaging will food security and insurance for years to come. It's the only survival insurance policy that will feed your family in an emergency.

 Why is it so valuable?

Our Culinary Herb Garden contains 14 varieties of common (and not so common) kitchen herbs and spices that will compliment your existing vegetable garden. Each of our herbs were chosen for their flavor and medicinal properties. This vault makes a great companion to our Medicinal Seed Vault available separately. 

Current Retail Potential: $12,300

(Value calculated as of 1/21/22)

Value is an estimate based on projected yield of dried herb, fresh herb, and expected seed production.

The Basil Plant: Basil, commonly used in Italian dishes, could easily be one of the most valuable plants in this vault. This high-yielding plant could fetch as much as $14/lb dried, or even more sold as fresh basil. Our Basil Seeds produce beautiful and potent heirloom plant. 

Cilantro (Coriander): Cilantro seeds and dried herb are used in cooking. Aside from the great flair that Cilantro adds to many dishes, this herb has a ton of medicinal properties that you might not know of. Because of the potency of this herb, it's highly sought after as a bulk herb to be used in many different tinctures and concoctions. As a fresh herb, you could expect as much as $63/lb, whereas a dried cilantro could fetch nearly $21 per pound. 

Oregano: This is an herb that you've likely already got plenty of in your spice cabinet. Aside from using Oregano in different dishes and sauces, much like Cilantro, Oregano is highly sought after as a medicinal herb and demands upwards of $15/lb to purchase bulk and dried. 

Overall, the seeds contained in this vault can easily cover 3,500sq ft of condensed garden space. With such a small investment in these easy-to-grow herbs, you could not only stock your spice rack, but stock your wallet as well.
