No...it is okay to save seed for your personal use. But if you try to sell any extras on eBay, Craig’s List, farmer’s markets, etc.; that’s a BIG no-no. Legislators claim the exemption was an ‘oversight’ when the original law was written. Most heirloom seed merchants on the internet are hobby gardeners...you won’t find any from New Hampshire, though.
WOW! Thats for the explanation. I wonder if you are allowed to give away seeds. Although not constrained by NH laws here NJ, a few folks from the local watering hole are fellow gardeners and I have talked up a few of my veggies from which I harvest seeds every year. My yellow cherry tomatoes are to die for. Same with my black cherry tomatoes and yummy bell peppers. I'm on my sixth generation.
