Ever since people starting farming 12,000 years ago, people have been saving seed.
Every fall, Small Farm Canada Magazine publishes our Annual Seed Guide. It includes more than 100 seed and seed stock sellers and also includes articles on a number of interesting topics.
Whether it's vegetables, flowers, mushrooms or grains, growing something from seed is a passion for many people. Finding seed suppliers that meet your specific requirements is not always easy. Our annual list is not exhaustive, but it should help you to find a seed supplier that meets your specific passion.
Below is a list of featured seed suppliers who cater to small farms and homesteaders. For a complete list of the seed and seed stock sellers you can request a printed copy of the Small Farm Canada Annual Seed Guide here.
If you provide seeds to small operations and would like to be included in our Annual Seed Guide, please send an email to editor@smallfarmcanada.ca.
