We buy our seeds from the Hudson Valley Seed Library in New York where they provide regionally adapted seeds. These plants are locally grown and the seeds are handed to the library to be sold by regional farmers. The library strive to decrease the consumer reliance of big companies selling seeds and more towards providers from local farmers. Their art packs are also great because the packets are designed by local artists from the New York area.
