Independent Seed Companies are disappearing rapidly. We are led to believe there are under 100 today, down from 300. Most have been purchased by large corporate entities.

The Independents regularly offer organic seed, heirloom varieties and nonGMO  (genetically modified organisms) seed. They are one of the front lines to protect the biological diversity of our agriculture, and as such critically important to each and every small farm. For these reasons and more we encourage you to seek out independent seed companies to do business with. We have borrowed the excellent list below from ATTRA, of 18 companies we can recommend. We are anxious to list here EVERY independent seed company. There are NO strings attached to having an independent seed company listed on this website. If you have one or know of any which aren’t on this list please email us at agrarian@smallfarmsconservancy.org with the particulars and we’ll add that information here.
