Offering certified organic and sustainably-grown heritage and open-pollinated garden seed.
Committed to high quality, organic growing, and local food.
2009 Listing now on-line! Browse the listing to the left to discover one of the best selections of Maritime, heritage and organic seeds in Canada!
May 6th Update:
We're finally down to the bottom of the barrel, and the last of the
seed potato orders will be shipped today. Our Jerusalem
artichokes are now out of the ground and being packed - look for them
in your mailbox very soon!
April 27th Update:
WOW! We're
getting lots more orders than anticipated this year - our rural post
office loves you! This means 2 things: 1) many more folks planting
gardens and growing good food (YAY!), and 2) we're selling out of many
customer favourites (not so yay!). Our website listing to the left is updated daily with sold out items,
so take a quick peek before sending in your order to make sure we're
able to supply what you're looking for. We're substituting with
suitable varieties where possible to make sure you're getting
something to grow.
For those of you wanting to pick up seeds on your way into town, check out our VASTLY EXPANDED list of retail vendors to the right. We now have many locations around the Maritimes, even stretching as far as Saskatchewan!
WE ARE STARTING TO SHIP SEED POTATO AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE ORDERS THIS WEEK (April 27th)! GET READY!
I think 2009 is
going to be a great year. Despite much of the airwaves reporting
on wars around the world, global economic depression, and the uncertain
impact it will all have on our daily lives, I still
think 2009 is going to be a great year! These global changes are
motivating people to turn to their neighbours, find common solutions to
common problems, and root their actions in their ideals of building a
better home, community and planet for our future generations.
(Aren't they beautiful? A rainbow of potatoes that you can grow too!)
So, before you start to devour the wonderful selection of garden
goodies Hope Seeds if offering this season (the menu to the
left)...raise an arm up high, bend your hand around behind, and give
yourself a hearty ol' pat on the back! You have taken a good
first step to chosing a hopeful future for our communities and planet.
Planting a garden, growing some food, caring for your
soil organically - those are all revolutionary acts that have an impact
well beyond your dinner plate. I'm really happy that you're
including
Hope Seeds in your plans for the season, it is quite an honour.
Okay...ready? set? GROW!
What's new in 2009?
- New selections on EVERY page on this website, and we've even had to add new pages just to hold it all!
- Not only have we added more certified organic seed potato varieties, but can also supply market growers with bulk quantities.
- We've increased our production of Jerusalem artichokes, and added a Hope Seeds exclusive variety from New Brunswick: Passamaquoddy Potatoes.
- We've made some adjustments to make the ordering procedure easier (I hear those sighs of relief!), and broken out into 2 different order forms: one for seeds, one for potatoes/JA's.
- Hope Seeds is now a fully certified organic producer
with Atlantic Certified Organic Co-op! We still offer many
non-certified organic seeds as well - putting quality at the top of the
list.
At Hope Seeds, we're committed to offering our customers a unique
selection of high-quality garden seed suited to organic growing.
We know how important it is for you to have dependable seed for a
successful harvest - we're growers just like you, and our gardens
provide our year-round food supply! We produce much of our own seed,
and work with local organic growers (certified and non-certified)
to increase our local seed supply, and build a more secure local
food system.
Please feel free to let Hope Seeds know how we're doing, and how we can
become your favourite garden seed supplier. Contact us with your
questions and ideas. We're always happy to hear from you!
All the best, and a bountiful harvest in 2009!

Hope Seeds takes The Safe Seed Pledge
Agriculture
and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must
protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for
future generations. For the
benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an
alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically
engineered seeds of plants. The mechanical transfer of
genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between
genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as
economic, political and cultural threats. We feel that
genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior
to public release. More research and testing is necessary to
further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds.
Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to
healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and
ultimately healthy people and communities.
