People ask us all the time where we get our seeds.

Not just any seeds — but the ones that grow well, save well, and continue season after season.

So I put everything in one place.

This is a curated list of seed suppliers we’ve used, trust, and return to — growers who prioritize open-pollinated varieties, regional adaptation, and seeds that can be saved and shared.

A note on choosing seeds

Where you source your seeds matters.

Not just for what grows this season — but for what you’re able to save, adapt, and carry forward.

These are all companies working, in different ways, to preserve seed diversity and keep real food growing in real places.

It’s important to note:

This list focuses on US and Canadian sources, as those are the ones we’ve personally used — but wherever you are, it’s always best to seek out seed growers in your own region.
