Our Seed Work
We believe in stewarding the genetic diversity of plants native to where we grow and the genetic diversity of vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
The MISSION of our seed work is to make regionally grown and adapted seed readily available and easily accessible to growers of all types.
Our VISION is that we accomplish this by building a robust and competitive seed retail and wholesale catalog of seeds exclusively grown in New England and New York.
We view our role as making it easy for regional growers to engage in seed contracts and make it easy for their seed to be distributed regionally to home gardeners, market growers, farmers, and seed libraries. We do this by receiving open-pollinated, untreated seed from other growers and native plant enthusiasts. We also produce some of our own seed on leased land in Essex, Massachusetts.
Our Partners in Seed
We work with an eclectic set of gardeners, growers, and farmers to offer an array of open-pollinated, (certified and uncertified) organically grown seed throughout New England and New York. They vary from folks who collect from plants growing wild to folks running certified organic farming operations for whom seed is a secondary source of income.
