Heirloom seeds!

Hey all, have a question ! need a hand finding Heirloom seed vendors that are true heirlooms and dont sell GMO's. My wife and I want to get some Wheats and Oats (not sure what kind we should start with , but I hear that Winter Rye is a good green manure) We have a bunch of heirloom vegetable seeds but I am focus on Wheats and oats to use in baking and cereals. I want to steer clear of any "Patented" seeds and try to go with something that we can seed -save to continue to grow our own over time. Also if you know what wheat and oat make good human and chicken feed I would really like to know ! Thanks very much!
Please help if you can!

Hi Michael,

I purchased all my non gmo and heirloom seeds from St. Clare's seeds online. They are amazing! I believe the website is www.stclareseeds.com. Try them out!

Baker Seeds (www.rareseeds.com) has wheat and oats. Their prices on packets of seed are competitive, but it may be high if you want a lot of seed. You might want to contact a grower of organic grains and find out where they get seeds.

This is OT , but they are the first ones I thought of when I read the title of this thread - I just started reading their book (library copy, so I won't be able to read a lot, but I love it so far!)
