I have a question for all, but especially anyone living southeast… I am looking for a good heirloom seed company since SeedSavers no longer ships to GA. I tried Annie’s last year but was not happy with the yield. Most of my seeds I have saved for years, but I want to introduce some new vegetables to my garden.

Any recommendations?

Heirloom Seed Company Question for ya!

Baker Creek is really good. (Rareseeds.com) But Ellendra knows them all. :)

You could also try Aaron Whaley. He is the son of Seed Savers and has his own company, now. He lives up the road from me and used to be my Boss when I worked at their (now-defunct) Madison store.

Baker Creek: https://www.rareseeds.com

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange: https://www.southernexposure.com/

Sow True Seed: https://sowtrueseed.com

And Native Seeds Search: https://www.nativeseeds.org/

Those would be my top recommendations for that region.

Well, Baker Creek is my top recommendation for any region, and not just because they pay me :)

Copied and pasted from searching my bookmarks for “seed” so it’s a misc list of websites saved over the years. Some are for grass, forage and cover crop seed.

rareseeds aka Baker Creek is the only one I’ve purchased from. TrueLeafMarket seems like a good one. Eden Bros are in NC. Both of these websites have a lot of info, especially Eden. Basics, growing info, companion plants on each seed’s page.
