Everyday that we are in business, we are growing; working to provide an essential component in the re-building of our healthy food systems: the seeds. |
| Founded: | High Mowing Organic Seeds began in 1996 with just 28 varieties. After tilling up a portion of his backyard and turning his shed into a seed packing area, founder Tom Stearns had no trouble selling the seed he grew that first year. Suddenly, what had started as a hobby became a practical business pursuit, as Tom realized the growing and unmet demand for organic seed. This demand allowed Tom to expand the business beyond his backyard, renting parcels of land to produce the seed he was selling through a hand-made catalog. By 2001, business had grown to such an extent that Tom began to contract with other local farms to grow seed, in addition to continuing to produce seed himself on High Mowing's own 5 acres. |

| CompanyDescription: | I started Oikos Tree Crops because I wanted to search out new or wild food plants and then share that experience with others. We started with sweet acorn oaks,northern pecans and hybrid american chestnuts. |
| EvaluateSeeds: | Oikos Tree Crops maintains seedling plantings of most of our selections. Unlike many mail order nurseries, we produce the majority of our plants from seed produced here. It is from these diverse plantings that we are able to evaluate the plants completely. We want to know how they would grow with a minimum of human intervention. The goal is to have plants that can reproduce themselves on their own and still be productive under 'average' conditions. |
| MissionStatement: | “Oikos” is a Greek word meaning home. “Ecos” was coined from this word. Our “Tree Crops” philosophy is similar to J. Russell Smith who published a best selling book in 1930 called, “Tree Crops- A Permanent Agriculture”. To understand the concept of tree crops and make it more of a practical reality means trying to integrate ecology and agriculture. Unlike orchards, tree crops have to be made up of genetically diverse individuals and be resilient to environmental changes. By careful selection of wild or unimproved seed strains new plants can be developed that will prove successful for agriculture and other enviromental goals. Without this diversity we are lost in our ability to ecologically integrate with our environment and respond to crisis. The goal of Oikos Tree Crops is to provide this diversity and educate people about the benefits of plants to create a healthy environment. All plants are beneficial to the environment in their own way. |

Plants of the Wild provides container grown seedlings, and prides itself in a long history of propagating and producing species that are difficult to produce. In recent years there has been a steady increase in popularity of naturalized landscaping and low maintenance, water conserving landscapes. This trend has led the nursery to evolve over the years to include production of larger container grown natives to meet the needs of Landscape and Retail Nursery Industries. Plants of the Wild strives to provide large numbers of plant materials for the larger reclamation projects, while also providing smaller quantities of plants for the homeowner's landscape. |
| Founded: | Plants of the Wild, a division of Seeds Inc., was started in 1979 with a goal of providing quality native plant material for restoration and reclamation projects. We are nestled deep in the heart of the Inland Northwest, located in eastern Washington State, just outside of the town of Tekoa. |
