Maritime Northwest Seed Growers

(click to enlarge)



At last Winter's Quimper Grange Seed Workshop, I took notes of the seed companies that were recommended. The complete list is here: Recommended Seed Companies

Most seed companies buy their seeds from different growers and bundle them into a catalog. A reliable seed company will insure the quality of it their seeds.

As an alternative, there are small-scale growers who sell regionally grown, organic, open-pollinated seeds. In the Northwest we are fortunate to be a hothouse of grower-to-gardener seed companies.

More Seed Information Coming

This is the first list to come out of the Quimper Grange Winter Seed Workshop. I'm hoping eventually to have a list of recommended seed varieties for our area, and the best places to find those seeds. I started a list at last winter's workshop, and have entered the recommended varieties into a spreadsheet. 

The list is not complete and represents the opinions of only a few people. Ideally I might have something to show by next winter's workshop.
