Rebecca said, "As an organic grower, I demand a certain amount of integrity in those with whom I deal,..."

I think you meant "agreement" or, perhaps, "conformity" rather than integrity. If these companies claimed to supply _only_ approved organic seeds or if they failed to inform customers of the characteristics of their seeds (ie, GMOs), then integrity might be appropriate.

These are commercial enterprises catering to a wider customer base than just the dedicated organic purists. If their customers don't want GE seeds, they'll not buy them and Johnny's and Stokes will not offer them; if, on the other hand, the demand is there, they would be foregoing a market opportunity by not responding to the demand.
