Dear Gardener, Farmer and BEE Friends!
We are a family owned seed company that specializes in breeding and growing our own seed varieties for vegetables, flowers, herbs and very rare edible perennials for organic gardening and permaculture applications. Our breeding focus is disease resistance, pest resistance and production. Over the years, we have won many awards for our vegetables.
We have stayed true and committed to our own beliefs, to a natural comprehensive organic enterprise. We believe that the foundation of agriculture, no matter which branch, is founded upon sustainable and holistic management practices that produce healthy soils, plants, food and environments for ALL species in our global community.
More about us...FEATURED SEED COLLECTION
All of our seeds are non-treated, not patented and not genetically modified to provide you with the "GENETICS" to start your own natural strain of resilient plants for your own regional adaptive application or plant breeding program.
FLOWER-ANNUALS
We have selected our annual varieties for ease of growing, flowering display and purpose. Most annual flower seeds need to be started early indoors in a seed starting soil mix. We start all annual flower seed mid March for planting out the first week of June. Each cultivar is noted for hardiness, flowering times and... More here
FRUITS & BERRIES
Our fruit collection has been grown and selected for our short season area, for flavor and specific growing conditions. Some varieties include berry shrubs, fruit trees and perennial plants such as strawberries. A great choice for permaculture applications which once established creates seasonal display and fruit for... More here
NUTS & SEEDS
Hardy selections include trees that produce NUTS, blossoms for bee nectar, fruit and fast growing varieties for carbon sequestering woodlots. Our tree seeds/nuts are locally grown and selected in zone 4 at 44 latitude. A great addition to a permaculture environment or garden. More here...
Plants For Bees
Wild flowers, trees, flowering herbs and cover crops provide nectar sources for beneficial insects and honey bees which pollinate the plants in our ecosystems, farm crops and gardens. Studies have shown that 80% of food crops are pollinated by wild bees worldwide. Pollinators are worth billions in the human food chain and plant diversity... More here
Peppers
Peppers usually take so much time to get started as transplants and to grow to maturity even in the best of our summers. We have come to enjoy an array of colors and tastes by careful cultivar selection. Always start seeds early, we usually start in February and plant out transplants only when the soil warms up, June 10th on our farm... More here
Herbs
We have categorized this selection according to the most popular herbs used in haute cuisine and tasty tea blends. These selected varieties do well in short seasons and the perennial herbs over winter well here on our farm. We also have medicinal herbs, our selections are grown out from varieties obtained from many parts of the world... More here
Rooted Vegetables
Our root vegetables have proven themselves here in our heavier soils and some varieties have overwintered well with a little mulch for protection. We recommend pulling the harvest and overwintering in a cool root cellar. Many root vegetables such as beets, parsnips or carrots can stay in the ground until... More here
Endangered Wild Edibles
Most of these varieties/species are edible in some way, shape or form such as leaves, fruit, roots or nuts and may be suitable for permaculture applications. Very hard to source out as some of these species have been extinct in areas where large populations grew many decades ago. All of our tree species... More here
Garlic & Potatoes
Garlic is a perennial crop and some varieties do better in colder environments than others. We have sourced varieties that can get through our tough winters and grow in our heavy clay soil. There are as many different garlic varieties as there are tomatoes varying in flavour, size and hardiness... More here
