Gourds

Founded in 2008 by lifelong gardener and food activist carol koury, sow true seed provides open-pollinated, heirloom and organicvegetable, herb, and flower seeds to enthusiastic home gardeners and small market farmers

Here at the Hudson Valley Seed Company, we are both farmers and storytellers. We are committed to growing organically, sourcing locally and sustainably, and preserving crop diversity by selecting unique, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Every seed in our catalog is open pollinated, many are heirloom and organic, and they are never GMO. We were one of the first companies to sign the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI), and we will remain committed to our values of sustainability to the last. We believe that a seed is more than meets the eye: it is a time capsule telling tales of the plants, crops, and people that came before us, and we work with a range of artists as diverse as our seeds to pass those stories down to present and future gardeners.

Annie's heirloom seeds specializes in vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, cabbage, cauliflowers and more. So where do we get our seeds? From all over the world. Most of the common varieties are grown here in the US. We search for companies with quality seeds that we trust. We insist on high germination rates and seeds that we have had success growing in our own garden. We also import some seeds from Italy and England. Italy has a history of growing heirloom varieties, so we are fortunate to be able to offer some wonderful Italian varieties. We just found a wonderful British seed company that has enabled us to add some really exciting 'new' varieties. As with all heirlooms, they aren't really new, just new to us.

We also get some of our seeds from our back yard. We are beginning the process of growing some of the rare varieties that are wonderful but not being grown commercially by anyone. We have been selling a few tomato varieties for the past several years that we grew.

Victory Seed Company is family owned and operated, passionate about providing the highest quality seed of the best varieties available to home gardeners. We focus on vegetables and also provide a good selection of herbs and flowers.
