Salt Spring Seeds has been supplying seeds to farmers and gardeners, promoting organic growing, and encouraging people to save their own seed for over twenty years. We believe we carry lots of very special grains, beans, vegetables, herbs and flowers, and we hope you will agree with us! In addition, Salt Spring Seeds also retails herbal medicinals, gardening books and dvds, beeswax candles, salts and seasonings, hemp bags, body oils, skin creams and lotions, and organic teas.

All our seeds are untreated, open-pollinated and non-GMO. We grow all our own seeds and sell only our most recent harvest. As is true again this year, we write the printed and online catalogues in December after we've cleaned and evaluated all our seed crops from the year before. December is also the month when we package the seeds. Most of our seeds are mailed from mid-January to mid-May but we fill orders year-round and usually within a day or two of receiving your requests.

Salt Spring Seeds, itself, represents a unique joining of many farmers and gardeners. By bringing together the seeds we each grow and love best, we’ve created this catalogue of special foods, herbs and flowers for your pleasure and satisfaction. Our seeds are all hand-harvested and hand-packaged by us. We hope you find lots that will delight you for years to come. Thank you for supporting small agriculture. Best wishes for happy sowing and a great growing season!
