I hear/read people referencing seed catalogs. Where can I get one, and are there any you’d recommend over others? I want to grow healthy produce- organic, non-gmo, etc. and I live in a cold climate with a short growing season (4a/b). Short daylight hours in winter (4hrs) and long in summer (22hrs). Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hi Eloise. I just received my first 2024 seed catalogue today ! I suggest you look at the Permies seed and plant review grid for some US based companies, with some Permie reviews. Most companies these days will have online lists, but if you contact them, some may have paper copies to send out as well.

Hi, Eloise

This thread has some recommendations for your area:

Chris said, "The biggest is Denali Seed and you'll find their seeds at https://bestcoolseeds.com/.  They have a mix of heirloom, hybrid, organic, and conventional seeds.  They do bred for Alaska conditions and only sell varieties that have been proven to grow here

This is great. Thank you!
