Join the Home Farming Movement with Triscuit

I’m a good ‘ole southern country gal that lives on two acres surrounded by woods.  I actually tried a garden last year, but all the critters feasted on our harvest before we even got a chance to see it.  This year, I decided against it because I didn’t want to put in all the effort for nothing in return. But I learned some exciting news that Triscuit is working with Urban Farming, a non-profit organization, to create 50 new community-based home farms throughout the United States. Pretty awesome, right?!? As part of the Home Farming Movement, Triscuit has included plantable herb seed cards in 4 million boxes of Triscuits to help encourage people to grow their own vegetables and herbs!  I was sent two boxes of these special boxes of Triscuits along with a gift card to start my own home garden.

The Original Triscuits come with basil seeds and the Reduced Fat Triscuits come with dill seeds. The instructions to begin your home garden are included on the back of the Triscuit box. When I think of planting, I think of seeds. Don’t you? Well, you won’t find any seeds in your Triscuit box. Instead, you’ll find a seed card.  I’ve bought all my materials to start, but unfortunately I haven’t found the time.  I’m hoping once I get back from vacation that I’ll be able to get my home garden going.

The concept behind the Home Farming Movement is actually quite simple. Plant. Grow. Harvest and Share.  You can actually add your little home farm to a community-based map and share and swap with others around you.  I was excited to find so many farms in my area.  Also, the website is loaded with useful information to make sure your garden is a success.  I totally needed this last year.

So tell me.  Have you planted any basil or dill from the Triscuit boxes?

I received free product along with a gift card in order to facilitate this post.  No other compensation was received.
