Premium Specialty Seeds

Our seed bank and working seed farm serves as a genetic storehouse of heirloom varieties possessing unique genetic traits like disease resistance, flavor, adaptability to specific climates, and nutritional value.  The rarity and uniqueness of these traits significantly increase their value, especially in a market increasingly concerned with biodiversity and climate change resilience.  The loss of seed varieties highlights the scarcity value of these heirloom resources.

Business success is heavily dependent upon the economics of seed production. Our 25 years of experience will be vital in building your business case for selling seeds into online, retail or wholesale channels. 

Seed Sourcing & Contract Production

Heirloom Seed Sourcing: Identifying and vetting reputable suppliers of high-quality heirloom seeds, focusing on genetic diversity, sustainability, and relevant certifications, is crucial for building a strong product portfolio.

 

Sourcing high-quality, uncontaminated heirloom seed is challenging due to the inherent scarcity of many specialty varieties. This scarcity, coupled with the need to maintain genetic purity through careful isolation and selection, significantly increases the difficulty and cost of acquiring these seeds.
 
Contract Growing: Establishing efficient contract growing systems with experienced growers to ensure high-quality seed production at scale is essential for meeting market demand.
 
Seed Quality Control: Implementing rigorous quality control measures throughout the seed production process, from sourcing to packaging, is critical for maintaining high standards and building customer trust.
