Looking for organic seeds

Hi all

I’m in the market of buying seeds, from an organic conscious person or business. A seed saver would be ideal. I think I’ve found the right place😊. My list, below, Is a little wonky but  they are for a cool project that I’m putting together. I only need about 20 or 30 seeds from each plant.  Finding these seeds from an organic conscious person is really important. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thank you

Cucumis sativus L. -- Cucumber (larger the fruit the better)
Beta vulgaris subsp. subsp. vulgaris -- Beet, Beetroot, Garden Beet, Sugar Beet (larger the fruit the better)
Cichorium endivia L. -- Endive, Escarole
Brassica oleracea var. botrytis l. var. botrytis L. -- Cauliflower
Lycopersicon esculentum MILLER -- Tomato
Carya glabra (MILLER) SWEET -- Pignut Hickory, black Walnut, butternut
Urtica dioica L. -- European Nettle, Stinging Nettle

Do you mean SeedSavers.org ?


Used to be a wonderful place, went corporate-like around 2008, that's when I let my membership expire.

Where are you located?   I love to use local/regional seed suppliers that grow their own seed or have other local farmers grow their seed.  New Hampshire is a challenging place to garden and using seeds grown in the colder parts of the northeast makes all the difference in getting a successful crop.

In New England/ New York I order from these suppliers.

Fedco Seeds is in Maine.  They tell you if the seed was grown organic, eco, or biodynamic. They have a mix of open pollinated and hybrid seeds. They also sell plants, trees, shrubs, tubers, bulbs, and grower supplies.

Fruition Seeds is in New York They are  certified organic.  I also love that they sell left handed gardening tools.  Their seeds are all open pollinated heirlooms that they encourage you to save the seeds from.  I also love their educational blog and videos.

Hudson Valley Seeds is also in New York and offer mix of conventional, organic, and Eco grown seeds.  They also have cool artwork on the small packages that make great gifts.

High Mowing Seeds in Vermont is also Certified Organic. I don't use them very often but I have had good results from them.  The farm I get cream from carries their seed so I will grab a packet or two when I run short on some seed.  They have a lot of F1 hybrids so it is not my go to supplier.

If you are not in the northeast you may be able to find smaller regional suppliers in your area.

What are you looking to grow?  I  have a few favorites that have found that I really like that handle NH growing conditions well.   I will put a list together tomorrow of my personal favorites and where I buy them.  

I do have  a bunch of seeds that I save that I can share with you but none of them are on the list of what you are looking for.

I would love to see your list. Sorry It's taken me thus long to get back to you.

The list above, are of plants that are high in one particular nutrient.

Cucumber.        Fruit  is 8 % N
beets.                   root is 4.5 % P
Endive.                  leaf is 9.6% K
cauliflower.           leaf is 1.1% Sul
Tomatoes.           Leaf is 6% Cal.
Pignut Hickory  shoot is 2.4 % Mag
Stinging nettle.     leaf is 6.5% Sil

They, of course,  contain other nutrients  but I'm just making a compost that contains only these plant material. Just a project  I'm excited about. This is how I learn is by doing things
