This is Salt Spring Seeds’ 22nd year of supplying seeds to farmers and gardeners, promoting organic growing, and encouraging people to save their own seed. We believe we carry lots of very special grains, beans, vegetables, herbs and flowers, and we hope you will agree with us! …

All our seeds are untreated, open-pollinated and non-GMO. We grow all our own seeds and sell only our most recent harvest. As is true again this year, we write the printed and online catalogues in December after we’ve cleaned and evaluated all our seed crops from the year before. December is also the month when we package the seeds. Most of our seeds are mailed from mid-January to mid-May but we fill orders year-round and usually within a day or two of receiving your requests.
Our catalogue comprises seeds from ten gardens and farms. All seeds are organically grown but only two farms are officially so.
Our online seed catalogue is a much-expanded version of our printed one which includes information and personal comments that would be too expensive to print on the 7000 copies we mail out. We also list some varieties online that we have in limited amounts because we can indicate when they are sold out. We’d be happy to mail you the printed seed catalogue for $2. We are also happy to answer your phone calls but we don’t accept orders over the phone.
The Seed and Plant Sanctuary for Canada is a project that grew out of Salt Spring Seeds. We are starting to have a cross-Canada network of members. There is more information about the Sanctuary at www.seedsanctuary.com.
This year we again have a special section, Seed Sanctuary Offerings, that includes varieties that are not in the catalogue. Proceeds from the sale of these cultivars will go to support the ongoing work of the Sanctuary.
