Hi loves,
With space and time opening up for me as of late, and navigating the changing times we are in, I wanted to tune into something that is sparking joy for me! Let’s dive into resources for the abundant Spring and Summer of 2020.
I have seed companies that I have gone through for many years. So, I wanted to compile them all in an easy to use guide!
Just a tiny info to be aware about is to try, when you can, to support Heirloom, Organic, and Open Pollinated seed companies. These guidelines ensure farming practices and seed saving practices that better our earth and our future of food.
Organic Vegetable + Flower + Medicinal + Dye Seeds:
Just for fun I’ll share 1 seed variety I love to grow, or am excited to grow this year from each one!
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds - I love this company and the work they are doing to provide unique, beautiful, heirloom seeds. I would highly recommend signing up for their yearly catalogue, it is a work of art! They also always have free shipping, which is awesome. Pusa Jamuni Radish
Floret Farmer - Prepare to be amazed, their seed catalogue is drool worthy! Seriously, stunning and I always walk away with more seeds than I intended because I just can’t resist the beautiful seeds offered. Pink Champagne Celosia
High Mowing Organic Seeds - 100% organic, non-gmo seeds with a lot of options for open pollinated. Kakai Hulless Pumpkin
Johnny’s Seeds - A very reliable seed company, that I go through for specific things! Search for organic seeds, and open pollinated when its an option. Scabiosa
Uprising Organics - I love the way this company is preserving history. Read about each seed and where it came from in the description of each offering. They’ve got some unique varieties, and I love to support them.
Grand Prismatic Seeds - Has amazing dye seeds and I just love their intention behind their farming + seed saving practices. Coreopsis
If you’re looking for a resource on seed starting (or anything else in the farming world), check here at Floret Farmers Resource. She has shared a lot of her knowledge on her website! Also, I can’t reccomend her book, Cut Flower Garden enough. It is what pushed me to become a farmer and believe that I could do it.
If you are in Humboldt County + cannot start your own seeds: Flora Organica + Flying Blue Dog Nursery have THE healthiest starts at places like the Arcata + Eureka Co-Op, Eureka Natural Foods in Eureka + Mckinleyville, Piersons, Mad River Nursery, Miller Farms Nursery.
If you have any seed companies to add, please leave them in the comments below! Also leave any questions and I’d be happy to answer.
Happy planting, be well.
