    in response to Laura in Seattle. I too am curious to know which of these are associated to Monsanto. I agree wholeheartedly. They poison are envoirnment and get away with it by lining the pockets of corupt politians. I have health problems related to toxins and do not want to support Monsanto in anyway.

  • Laura in Seattle 1/17/2009 12:44:37 PM

    What I want to know is which of these companies are NOT owned by Monsanto. Several on the list (Territorial Seeds among them)are, and I do not want to support Monsanto in any way whatsoever. They own at least 30 seed companies, some you'd never expect (e.g., Territorial Seeds). Nothing in this article or on the seed packaging suggests the corporate ownership. I think we all need to pay attention to this.

    Have discovered a seed company in central Ontario.
    Wall Flower Studio Seeds. The owner is also an artist, and sells organic, heirloom and heritage seeds for the most part. I ordered some Sweet William and herbal vinegars. Was very happy with my order. Prompt shipment and nice person to deal with.
    Here's a link... http://wallflowerstudioseeds.blogspot.com

    I tried to go to the link for the garlic farm in New Hampshire, and was given a 404 message. If anyone finds the right address, please post it!

    Don't miss Vesey's Seed Company in Prince Edward Island! Besides having an active, incredibly useful website, their catalogs are fantastic and come out several times a year. Their products are great, and I order from them even though I live on the other side of the country! They have a Canadian and a US site, which you can get to at www.veseys.com. Celebrating their 70th year in 2009.

    Please add Kitazawa Seed Co. to your list for California. They
    have a great selection of Asian cultivars that are known to grow
    well in the U.S.A. Also, they have excellent customer
    service.http://www.kitazawaseed.com/index.php

  • Elizabeth Olson 11/16/2007 12:00:00 AM

    Under your heading for Pennsylvania, please add the D. Landreth
    Seed Co. -- the oldest seed company in America. It has a new and
    very lovely fall catalog to follow its regular spring catalog. They
    have wonderful flowering bulbs and heirloom garlic.

    Try Seeds of Italy, either by mail or
    online:www.growitalian.comI met Bill McKay online when we both
    spent several years on a project called Internet Tomato
    Trials.Honest and forthcoming, as far as I know, he still tests all
    the seed he offers. The Italian imports come in large packages.
    Order his catalog or read it online. It's filled with terrific
    information.
