I have been ordering from this company for several years now and I’ve always been very happy with their selection and excellent seed germination rates. I love that all their seeds are organic. High Mowing is located in Wolcott, Vermont, which has a hardiness zone of 4a. Since many of their seeds are grown in their area, the seeds are adapted to a cooler growing zone, making it an ideal choice for gardeners in the Northeast.

I was introduced to this company at a large Home & Garden show in Toronto. Their seeds were being sold at the Toronto Botanical Gardens Gift Shop. I fell in love with their seed packets right away, for how beautiful they are! Hudson Valley Seed Co. commissions artists to design the artwork for their seed packets. Fourteen artists are selected every year and their artwork becomes part of a travelling art exhibit. Since my first experience with them, it has become one of my favourite seed companies. I try to order seeds from them every year.

I highly recommend this seed company for not only their amazing selection of seeds, but also their gardening tools. Their tools and supplies are well thought out, making them ergonomically comfortable to use. Many of the tools have been created specifically for and by this company and are exclusive to them. This is an ideal company for the backyard gardener, as well as Market Farmer. They have many hybrid varieties that have been bred to grow under stressful disease conditions, including a number that are exclusive to them.

I was introduced to this company through an online friend. I haven’t yet ordered from them, but I’m hoping to do so this year. This company is owned by a seed activist, who supplies some of the most unusual and rare tomato varieties, like the ‘Work Release Tomato’. This variety came from an Italian inmate of the Hudson Correctional Facility in Hudson, New York, who’s family brought seeds from Italy. Apparently, he grew these tomatoes in the jail garden. Secret Seed Cartel primarily carries unusual and uncommon tomato varieties, along with some other vegetables, like beans, peas, cucumbers and squash. All seeds are organic and non-GMO.
