I give Siskiyou Seeds 9.5 out of 10 acorns.

Siskiyou Seeds is a great resource for the bioregion of southern Oregon/Northern California. They focus on locally-adapted, open-pollinated seeds. Germination rates have been generally good for me (while I was still in the area) and their descriptions contain useful information. The only complaint I have is that their seeds have been a little spendy for the packet sizes, but I suppose that’s pretty much everything these days.

If you’re in the bioregion, or on the edges of it, definitely worth a look!

I give this seed source 8.5 out of 10 acorns.

Guess what came in the mail today?

Siskiyou Seeds


Well packaged with minimal plastic, the seeds arrived after a couple of weeks after ordering. The average price of the seed packets are just shy of $5 but what caught my eye was their sales page. I picked up around twenty random overstock packets of seeds for a discount and was pleased with the assortment. The website has a few rarer cultivars of seeds along with some more common types. I am eager to get these seeds in the ground and see how they perform in the spring!

I’d give Siskiyou seeds 9.5/10 acorns. Great locally adapted seeds for my region. It is where I sourced most of our garlic, which we now keep and replant year after year and it seems to just be getting better.
