Driftless Seed Supply is making contributions to environmental sustainability through its commitment to regional seed stewardship. They support organic certification as the strongest public standard for accountability in sustainable agriculture and help their growers navigate the process to achieve certification. And by offering locally produced, regionally adapted vegetable, flower and native prairie seeds, the company supports food security amid environmental and social changes.

The company’s collaborative approach with Midwest farmers ensures that seeds are bred, trialed and grown specifically for the region’s unique climate and soil conditions. This practice enhances crop resilience, lessens reliance on fertilizers and pesticides, and reduces the environmental impact associated with transporting seeds over long distances. They emphasize transparency, ensuring that growers are well-informed about the origins and production methods of their seeds.

Driftless Seed Supply plays a pivotal role in promoting 
sustainable farming and gardening practices, as well as enhancing food security and community well-being in the Midwest.

Seeds can be purchased online or locally at the Outpost Co-op Capitol, Bay View and Mequon locations, SmallPie Café and Gift Shop, and River West Co-op. Natural Awakenings readers can save 20% online at DriftlessSeeds.com with code SPRING20.
