Hi Farmer John, We have had such great seedlings starting from our first order that here I am again placing another order! Thanks for all you do.

Old Seed Catalogs

Don’t throw out old seed catalogs!

Old seed catalogs, books, magazines, journals, seed packages, pictures, etc… contain valuable information important to seed preservation.

This type of information is invaluable to us. It helps us to understand how a variety grew say 100 years ago, what were it’s characteristics, what the name was and how that might have changed over the years. You see seed preservation can be a tricky thing. How do we know that the “Fordhook Lima” that we have today was the same one they had three generations ago?

Keeping seeds true to their heritage starts with understanding what the characteristics were associated with that variety. Trade magazines or family journals of plant breeders are invaluable in helping us to understand how a particular plant may have been created.  The information is then shared on this website to the public free of charge.  The information is not lost, but made publicly available for all to use.

PLEASE, the next time you are cleaning out the attic do not throw this stuff out.  If you are at a garage sale and see a box of old seed catalogs pick them up!  If Aunt Ruby has been saving them for years and she passed away don’t throw them away!  Please contact us.  1-877-620-Seed

We strive to sell the highest quality open pollinated and heirloom vegetable seeds. Our chief concern is empowering you, the customer, to be able to grow your own vegetables year after year by being able to save your seed. Not growing GMO seed or hybrid vegetable seed allows you to keep the seed your plants create and know you'll get the same vegetable every time. We value your input and comments and want to create a community of concerned citizens who care about the food they eat, the ground they grow their vegetables in, and the world in which we live. To protect your pollinators and bees, please limit or eliminate your pesticides use, they will thank you for it!
