*Dear friends and supporters of All Good Things,*
For the past month we have been running a Kickstarter campaign to raise
$15,000 for our seed company to:
<http://agtoseeds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=265c0a395a25cb73699e2d465&id=1f52773de3&e=1b4be483ab>

   - Increase Seed Production On Our Home Farm
   <http://agtoseeds.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=265c0a395a25cb73699e2d465&id=5acf2ce35b&e=1b4be483ab>
   and Develop a Network of Certified Organic Seed Growers Across the Southern
   California Region
   - Enhance Our Seed Cleaning and Storage Equipment
   - Advance Fund Our Envelope Production and Printing Costs
   - Modestly Expand Our Office Infrastructure

*We view this campaign as a mutual investment*. From our years of
experience operating our farm's Community Supported Agriculture program
<http://agtoseeds.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=265c0a395a25cb73699e2d465&id=2ac9d6ef95&e=1b4be483ab>,
whereby community members support our farm ahead of its growing season in
exchange for produce, we decided to adopt this same model for seeds. Your
contributions will net you seed credit in our online catalog
<http://agtoseeds.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=265c0a395a25cb73699e2d465&id=f0b3347ae2&e=1b4be483ab>,
which can be used in tandem with any future variety releases, discounts,
specials, or coupons we offer. Additionally, we are offering a host of
other unique backer rewards connected to our land and its history. These
includes a tour of our farm in Ojai, California, screenprints and original
drawings from our illustrator Goda Trakumaite, and photos from farmer Quin
Shakra.

*This a critical time for our campaign. Your support during these last
seven days of fundraising – through the evening of September 15th – could
make the difference between our success or failure.* Your support of us is
a vote of confidence for small seed companies everywhere who stand for
regional, decentralized food production, and open-source seeds. Our company
exists in defiance of the dominant seed industry trends of corporate
consolidation and genetic engineering of our food supply.
