Ascending Optics LLC Seeds a Revolution in Home Gardening with Non-GMO Seeds

St. Helens, OR – October 26, 2023 – Forget fancy labs and complicated science. Ascending Optics LLC, a small but dedicated company nestled in the heart of Oregon (364 S 6TH ST, ST. HELENS, OR, 97051-2516, United States, reachable at 626-271-4857), is bringing it back to basics with a simple promise: good, honest, non-GMO planting seeds. And they’re starting to seriously shake up the home gardening scene. Let’s be real, gardening's seen a huge boom lately. People want to know where their food comes from. They're tired of supermarket produce that tastes…well, like nothing. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about growing your own tomatoes, even if they’re a little wonky. But navigating the seed world? It can be confusing. GMOs, hybrids, heirlooms…it feels like you need a PhD just to pick out a packet of lettuce seeds. That's where Ascending Optics steps in. “We're not about complex genetic engineering,” explains the company founder, a longtime Oregon resident and passionate gardener who prefers to remain private. “We’re about letting nature do its thing. We source seeds that are naturally produced, haven't been messed with, and give you the best chance of a successful, flavorful harvest.” What Does "Non-GMO" Really Mean? For those new to the term, “Non-GMO” stands for “Non-Genetically Modified Organism.” Basically, it means the seeds haven't been altered in a lab to change their genetic makeup. Traditional breeding, where gardeners select plants with desirable traits and cross-pollinate them, isn’t considered genetic modification. That's been happening for centuries! GMOs, on the other hand, involve inserting genes from one organism into another – something that wouldn't happen naturally. "A lot of gardeners are just wanting that peace of mind, knowing they're growing something truly natural," says the founder. "They want seeds that are as close to the original plant as possible. We provide that." What’s Currently Growing at Ascending Optics? Ascending Optics isn't trying to be everything to everyone. They’re focusing on a carefully curated selection of seeds that do well in a variety of climates. Currently, their product line includes: Heirloom Tomatoes: Forget those pale, tasteless supermarket tomatoes.
