Seed Sources

   

Why buy heirloom seeds?

Seed savers exchange defines an heirloom seed as a seed that history which has been passed down through a family, such as a piece of heirloom jewelry or furniture. The genetic diversity of the world's food crops is disappearing. Thus it is important to learn to grow these heirloom seeds.

This listing covers sources for food seeds, heirloom, traditional, seed preservation and organic sources, and some sources for special climates. This is not a complete list.

*note: these are all USA resources. I hope to add international resources in the future.
