Ordering Seeds
The trees are bare. The ground is frozen. Snow lays heavy on the ground.
What a better time than to flip through seed catalogs and dream of green? Just remember the Power of the Pocketbook when ordering! To help you navigate seed ordering, we here at Slow Food Central New York have a few socially and environmentally conscious suppliers for you to consider when ordering:
FedCo is a cooperatively owned seed company (and the only one in the US, they claim!). They are located in Maine and produce seeds no GMO seeds, and have many heirlooms. They also select for cold hardy varieties – perfect for our CNY climate!
Seed Saver is not-for-profit company dedicated to selling and promoting heirloom seeds. Become a member and access hundreds of rare heirloom varieties. Even without membership, you have access to many beautiful and unique seeds.
We just learned about this place through our Slow Food network. This Collected Seed is located within New York State – on a farm just south of Albany. If you want to support a local farm – this place is for you! Order their heirloom seeds early as they are a small operation and may sell out.
