Wild Garden Seed

We are a certified organic seed company committed to ecological crop improvement by and for farmers. These are denoted by our farm-original mark .

Along the winding Marys River on the edge of Philomath, Oregon. All of this seed is open pollinated, untreated, germ and vigor tested in living soil mix, and well cleaned. These varieties have proven themselves popular and profitable in farmer's markets locally and in fine restaurants on both coasts. Many of these same seeds are for sale in the other catalogs that we supply, but this is the only s

ource for the entire commercial collection of Wild Garden Seed from Gathering Together Farm, organically certified since 1987. Most stock seed for our crop production has been reselected under stress and disease pressure in our breeding nurseries at GTF and Shoulder to Shoulder Farm, five miles upriver in the colder dry foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. Many of these varieties originated in our on-farm breeding program for organic conditions and improved fresh market quality. Other varieties have come to us over twenty years as heirlooms or reliable commercial standards, now with generations of selection on the farm. Our ecological approach to plant breeding and crop protection generates superior strains and varieties for farmers who don't use chemical crop protectants and fertilizers. The small-scale care and authentic fertility of our production fields yield fat seed with exceptional seedling vigor, a key trait for organic crop success.

Thanks to Danny from Full Plate Farm for the shout out on last week's Farmer to Farmer Podcast! Danny runs a CSA for the SW Washington and Portland area all winter long (what a trooper). Along with Adaptive, Uprising, and Siskiyou Seeds, Danny talks about the importance of using locally adapted seeds for all of his tough plants to make it through a Pacific Northwest winter and come out delicious on the other side. Thanks for the love, and sooo much respect for your hard work Danny! Chicory for life.

Whoa. My last day at Wild Garden Seed!

It's been such a treat to interact with all of you on social media (especially when you tag our plant babies. I know I'm biased, but they are just SO cute). I will miss this incredible crew immensely, but I'm looking forward to planting new seeds in the Intermountain West.

Huge hug to all of the Cascadian seedswomen and men who have shared their wisdom with me. I can't thank you enough.

Eaters, dyers, breeders and flower cutters; we have some great amaranths listed in the catalog (www.wildgardenseed.com). Polish is delicious, Hopi Red Dye is great coloring food or dyeing wool, Elephant Head is a quirky ornamental, Four Star Explorers Mix is a diverse mix for your own breeding projects, and Burgundy makes great cut flowers. Or, just throw the "greens" of any of them into a salad ❤️🌱❤️
