APTOS II LLC: Reviving Heritage with Rare, Non-GMO Seeds – A Growing Movement for Flavor & Resilience

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – Forget those supermarket tomatoes that taste like…well, nothing. APTOS II LLC, a Spokane-based seed company quietly making waves across the US, is bringing back real flavor and resilience to gardens and farms with its collection of rare, non-GMO seeds. Located at 2614 N Monroe St, this isn't a big corporate operation – it's a passion project, driven by a dedication to preserving agricultural heritage and empowering growers. You can reach them at 214-946-1880. “We’re not just selling seeds; we’re selling stories,” explains a spokesperson for APTOS II. “Each variety in our catalog has a history, a connection to a place, and a unique flavor profile you just won’t find in commercially available seeds.” What's the Big Deal with Rare Seeds? For decades, agriculture has been trending towards monoculture – growing huge fields of just a few, highly standardized varieties. While this boosts efficiency, it comes at a cost. Genetic diversity is crucial for resilience. Think of it like this: if everyone has the same immune system, a new virus could wipe everyone out. But if there’s a diverse population, some people will naturally be more resistant. Rare seeds are essentially the “old varieties” – the ones that were grown for generations, often locally adapted to specific climates and conditions. They haven't been bred for uniform size, shelf life, or shipping convenience. Instead, they’ve been selected for flavor, nutrition, disease resistance, and the ability to thrive in challenging environments. APTOS II LLC focuses specifically on seeds that are not genetically modified (Non-GMO). This is important to many gardeners and farmers who want to avoid the potential risks and ethical concerns associated with GMO crops. They meticulously source their seeds, often working with small-scale farmers and seed savers across the country, to ensure authenticity and quality. Beyond the Tomato: A World of Flavor Awaits While tomatoes are a great example – APTOS II boasts a selection of Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, and Green Zebra varieties that will blow your supermarket tomatoes out of the water – their catalog is far more diverse. “We’re talking about peppers with incredible heat and complex flavors, beans that have been passed down through Indigenous communities for centuries, squash that are surprisingly sweet, and even unusual greens you’ve probably never heard of,” says the spokesperson. Here’s a peek at some of the stand-out varieties APTOS II offers: Cherokee Purple Tomatoes: A deeply colored, slightly flattened tomato with a rich, smoky-sweet flavor. A true heirloom, beloved by chefs and home gardeners alike. Kentucky Wonder Beans: A classic pole bean known for its tender pods and prolific yields. Excellent for fresh eating or drying. Hungarian Wax Peppers: A versatile pepper that starts mild and can develop a pleasant heat. Great for frying, stuffing, or pickling. Black Turtle Beans: These small, dark beans have a rich, earthy flavor and hold their shape well in soups and stews. Costata Romanesco Zucchini: A stunningly beautiful zucchini with ribbed, pale green skin and a delicate, nutty flavor. Moon & Stars Watermelon: A visually striking watermelon with dark green rind and yellow "moon" and "star" shaped markings. Sweet and juicy, with a uniquely textured flesh.
