Local Seed Companies 

 

 

 

allensterlinglothrop.com - allen, sterling & lothrop - falmouth, me - specializes in seeds adapted to the climate in northern new england. maine's oldest seed company.

 

 

fedcoseeds.com - FedcoSeeds - waterville, ME - We are a cooperative, one of the few seed companies so organized in the United States. Because we do not have an individual owner or beneficiary, profit is not our primary goal. Consumers own 60% of the cooperative and worker members 40%. Consumer and worker members share proportionately in the cooperative’s profits through our annual patronage dividends. This seed company is right in my own back yard and I didn't even know it until this blog. I will be looking at their catalog a little more closely, again I truly believe we should stick to local for the bulk of our product,if not the saving of our own seeds.

 

 

www.groundswellseedfarm.com - Grounds Well Seed Farm - certified organic, heirloom & open-pollinated seeds - 624 Kennebec River Rd, Embden ME  04958 - (207)643-1106 - beans, corn, flower & herbs, grains, greens, melons, peppers, tomatoes, winter squash & gift certificates are available.

We also serve the midcoast Maine markets and pre-order direct to consumers with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Rather than certify, we prefer to "Green Pledge" all of our crops based on non-toxic and lasting soil fertility practices which focuses on soil and crop nutrition using composts, rock powder minerals, and biologically enhanced foliars.

 

 

johnnyseeds.com - Johnny's Seeds - winslow, me - vegetables, flowers, herbs & berries.  

 

This is my personal favorite. I think everyone should find a local seed company, a garden shop, in your area and befriend them. Not only does it support your local economy but who knows best as to what grows in your area than they do. They are full vegetable, herb, flower seed catalog and internet store.

 

This is on my bucket list of things to do.
