Aside from Seeds of Change--non Monsanto seed companies?

Check out Seed Savers. May be a great resource for heirloom seeds and strange things that are not commercially available.

I'm not a member but a friend with a small farm has been a member for years and he shares seeds with me.

first one comes to mind, (I get on the forums there) is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds http://rareseeds.com/seeds/ Next one comes to mind is Pinetree, https://www.superseeds.com/ Here's a webpage that has links to a whole bunch of seed co's, plus Alan Kapular is a kind of well-known plant breeder himself; called Peace Seeds: (the links are all the seed co. icons in the middle-left) http://www.ps02.cn/

 

for canadians, saltspringseeds.com
excellent heirlooms

 

Other than those already mentioned I sometimes go with Heirloom Acres Seeds www.heirloomacresseeds.com . If I am buying in bulk I usually go with them as they usually have good prices on bulk seed. It is a family business located in Missouri.

 

I'm not sure where to go to double-check, but other than the ones I already see here are a few Mom & I have gone through for heirloom seeds:

Victory Seeds
Grannys
and Johnny's

I happened to come across this today.

attended a green expo today and got a catalog from these folks in oregon www.territorialseed.com. they've been in business 30 years and an extensive catalog.

 

:hurray: <3
I got almost all of my seeds there last year. I plan to go back this year to fill in the gaps of what I couldn't afford last year. But for the most part, my garden is totally taken care of without me even having to.

 

In hunting up sources for rare/heirloom seeds this week, I've run across a few more sites you may be interested in. I can't vouch for them personally, but they sure LOOK good!

I will be sharing these links with my mom which means that she & her Master Gardener buddies WILL check them out this season. If anyone DOES have any info on any of these sites I'd love to hear about them!

Natural Gardening Company
Synergy Seeds
Bountiful Gardens
Heirloom Seeds
Botanical Interests

Also, while they're not QUITE what you were asking about... I found these sites that someone might find helpful:

Trees of Antiquity
and Container Seeds

mom
