Seed List for 2017

Nothing says Spring like having your seeds arrive in the mail. We thought you might be interested in what we plan to grow in the garden this year. We always order whatever we can from our buddies at Hudson Valley Seed Library in Accord, NY, but we also order from High Mowing Seed Company, TomatoFest, Johnny's, Renee's, Sustainable Seed Co., Territorial and Grow Organic. We prefer organic products whenever possible but will order conventional and sustainably-grown, non-GMO seeds if we are set on a certain variety and that's all that's available. You'll find the company abbreviations in the parentheses.
