Heritage Harvest Seed is a mail order business specializing in rare and endangered varieties of vegetables, flowers and herbs. Jessy Friesen and I, along with my mother Iris Stefanec, are working together to preserve heirloom vegetables and offer their seed for sale to the public. This requires a lot of research and countless hours tracking down rare seed sources and delving into the histories of each variety.
I am a member of Seeds of Diversity Canada and Seed Savers Exchange based in Decorah, Iowa. Both organizations are extremely worthwhile and I strongly recommend anyone with an interest in heirloom vegetables to join. I also have a Bachelors Degree in Horticultural Technology and have been an avid gardener since I was a child.
Once again I am very excited about this year’s selection, some of which is only available through our website. It has taken me years to be able to offer some of these special varieties and although this growing season was anything but ideal, we still managed to harvest seed from the extremely rare Early Scarlet Horn Carrot and Craupadine Beet. We also have Algonquin Pumpkin, Simonet Corn, the medieval Bere Barley, Gibsonii Castor Bean just to name a few.
As always, we also have some extremely rare new tomatoes such as President Garfield, Lambert’s General Grant, Ludmilla’s Red Plum!
At Heritage Harvest Seed we garden organically, although we are not certified organic. We take the growing and preserving of heirloom plants and the saving of seed very seriously. When you purchase seed from Heritage Harvest Seed you can be assured that the seed is viable and true to type and that you are supporting an extremely worthwhile preservation effort.
