From the very beginning, our farms in Maine and Wethersfield, Conn. produced much of the seed we offered for sale. Over the years, we have contracted with growers to produce seed that meets the needs of our demanding family, farmers and gardeners; untreated, weed-free, with a germination percentage that far exceeds the federal standard. As USDA certified organic varieties became available that were able to meet those exacting standards, we’ve offered them to our customers. Today, all of the garden seed we offer must still meet every one of those standards — plus, we’ve made a commitment not to sell any seed that has been produced through genetic engineering (The GE Free Promise). We offer 24 certified organic varieties in retail packets. These varieties were chosen because they offer many ways to enjoy them; as sprouts, micro-greens, shoots, baby greens, juice, and of course delicious mature vegetables, too! There are even organic nasturtiums for edible flowers.
