Sustainable Seed Company is the seed industry leader when it comes to taking care of the planet.Alternative Energy Wind Power In September 2011, we made our first landmark purchase of a new farm and headquarters. This farm was the first in the Valley to be powered by wind. This wind turbine provided over 2/3 of the necessary power needed to run our operations. Wind power, as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Our farm had a large freestanding solar array that supplemented the power generated by the wind turbine. This array provided needed green energy when the wind was not blowing. We hope to do the same with our new warehouse, implementing solar energy production by installing new solar panels on the roof. Paper Seed Packets Paper for our seed packets comes through the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). PEFC is an international, non-profit organization that promotes sustainable forest management through independent third party certification.
