Driftless Seed Supply is dedicated to enhancing food, farming and gardening practices across the Midwest. By producing regionally adapted, open-pollinated seeds, the local seed company ensures that both farmers and gardeners have access to varieties specifically suited to the Midwest’s unique climate and soil conditions. From families with small urban gardens to larger local farms, Driftless Seed Supply benefits all through its regional focus that not only promotes higher yields but also strengthens local food systems. Collaborating closely with local farmers, Driftless Seed Supply emphasizes ethical and fair labor practices throughout its supply chain. These partnerships support the economic vitality of rural communities and foster a sustainable agriculture network.

Moreover, the company’s commitment to transparency and integrity in seed sourcing provides growers with confidence in the quality and origin of their seeds. By prioritizing seeds bred and trialed within the Midwest, Driftless Seed Supply offers seed varieties that are well-suited to local growing conditions, naturally tasty and nutritious, good for fresh eating and reasonably tolerant of pests and disease.

“We believe in the great potential held in each of our seeds: nourishment of our Midwest people and communities; economic vitality for the rural Midwest; connection to ancestral wisdom; and the resilience and healing of Earth in a time of unprecedented change,” says Dylan Bruce, cofounder and one of the primary farmers of Driftless Seed Supply.
