It sounds like you are looking for organic seeds. Each state has a different definition of ‘Organic’ in it’s state code. So be sure to understand what may be organic in one state, may not be in another.

In Iowa, I believe soil MUST NOT have had commercial herbicides and pesticides used on the soil for 3 years before a field can grow certified organic produce. (assuming, of course, that organic seed is planted to this field)

These time limits may vary from one state to another. Be sure to check that the seed you are buying is compatable with your state’s definition of organic.

I don't want homosexual GMO seeds.

Based on your answer, it is apparent you do not understand what GMO seeds are. I do not need my State to tell me what its definition of organic is. Like some bureaucrat would know. LOL

Aren't all seeds created by God, organic?

"In Iowa, I believe soil MUST NOT have had commercial herbicides and pesticides used on the soil for 3 years before a field can grow certified organic produce. (assuming, of course, that organic seed is planted to this field)"

Based on this statement, a GMO seed would pass the "organic" test. Just grow them on untreated soil and voila! organic, all natural veggies.
