I've purchased excellent seed in the past from Giving ground seed who carries and grows out some of the Lofthouse landraces -- if it's sold out above, maybe Giving ground still has the one you're after? Of course it's not free this way, but maybe better to support a seed farmer and save yourself a year's wait!

This is the first year we have a collection of seeds just for Canada, shipping from Canada. Seeds in these packets are contributed by Canadian growers, supplemented with seeds from our US program. Crops are limited this year, but we hope to grow -- and to do that, we're counting on you to return seeds next year.
Grow these seeds without pampering them, and save seeds from the tastiest, earliest, and healthiest plants. Send some of those seeds back to the program, in order to help other growers access diverse, resilient seed, and earn early access to the next year's collection.
Packets contain a generous amount of seed for a small to medium sized garden, with moderate germination and high genetic diversity. Not all seeds will thrive in your environment -- that is natural selection at work!
Limit of 10 seed packets, one per type, per order
Please note that we can only ship these seeds to Canada. If you're not seeing any products, you're probably not in Canada!

Check https://GoingToSeed.org on February 1st.

It's almost here! The 2026 US Seed Collection will be available on Sunday February 1st at 9AM Eastern / 6AM Pacific. With 60 different mixes, and seeds contributed by over 100 growers, these packets are bursting with diversity. Thank you to everyone who contributed. Extra special thanks to seed stewards Angel, François, Debbie, Emily, Holly, Jessic, Joseph L, Joseph Z, Julia, Kim, Lowell, Malcolm, Spencer, William, and Philip.
This year we've got some new crops like peanuts, artichokes, and sesame, as well as most of the crops we had last year. We had a higher percentage of returned seeds this year, so you should see more mixed-up genetics and greater resilience.
Grow them, allow them to cross-pollinate, and save seeds from the tastiest, earliest, and healthiest plants. Send some of those seeds back to the program -- you'll help other growers access diverse, resilient seed, and earn early access to the next year's collection.

Our seeds are only available in the US and Canada. If you're in Canada, you can order from the US collection, but shipping is fairly expensive. We'll also have a Canada-only catalog of seeds, grown and shipped on your side of the border, available February 15th.
Thank you all for helping us build more resilient food systems through diversity, community, and adaptation.

I also felt weird because this is the first time that I didn't send seeds into the program. Next year!

Lucky you! They went fastâwithin hours.
Someone got one peanut in the Fukuoka grab bag last year, and returned 7 seeds this year.
