Strength through partnerships with organic seed growers More than twenty years ago, Tom Stearns grew the seeds for all 58 of High Mowing’s varieties in his backyard in Gospel Hollow, Vermont. In 2017, we grew 26 acres of seed crops on our farm in Hyde Park, Vermont, producing seeds for 46 of our 700+ varieties. To become the whole farm catalog we are today, High Mowing harnessed the power of partnerships so that we may offer more organic seeds, grown by talented and dedicated farmers in Vermont and beyond. One of the things that we’ve learned since those early days is that we can’t do this by ourselves. Because building the organic seed supply represents a shared challenge, it is an effort that cannot be attempted in isolation. To augment the varieties we source from other organic seed companies, we have steadily built our network of independent seed producers to help us rise to the challenge. We now partner with over fifty seed growers across the country to bring a wide selection of professional quality organic seeds to farmers and gardeners. We consider it an essential part of our duty as seed stewards to enroll allies like these in our effort to increase growers’ access to organic seed. Our partners are farmers who have demonstrated excellence in their fields, growing the highest quality organic seeds with a commitment to sustainable agricultural practices. We are delighted that they have joined us, and the farmers, gardeners and homesteaders who utilize our seeds, in demonstrating a deep investment in stewardship of the seeds they grow.
