Welcome to the Hudson Valley Seed Company!

We are your source for heirloom and open-pollinated garden seeds and beautiful garden-themed contemporary art. We are a values-driven seed company that practices and celebrates responsible seed production and stewardship. We have our own certified organic farm in upstate New York where we produce much of what we sell. On our site, you'll find photos and artwork that stoke your horticultural imagination—along with tips to make your garden dreams a reality.

Our Mission

Here at the Hudson Valley Seed Company, we are both farmers and storytellers. We are committed to growing organically, sourcing locally and sustainably, and preserving crop diversity by selecting unique, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Every seed in our catalog is open pollinated, many are heirloom and organic, and they are never GMO. We were one of the first companies to sign the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI), and we will remain committed to our values of sustainability to the last. We believe that a seed is more than meets the eye: it is a time capsule telling tales of the plants, crops, and people that came before us, and we work with a range of artists as diverse as our seeds to pass those stories down to present and future gardeners.

Our Art Packs

Our Art Packs unite practical aspirations in the garden with the universal human desire for beauty, meaning, and joy. Each year, we release a call for art seeking artists to interpret the varieties in our collection, and hundreds of artists apply from across the United States. But there’s a lot more to an Art Pack than the beautiful exterior. Open it up, and a whole seedy world unfolds...

We hope these seedy stories will take you on a beautiful, fragrant, delicious tour of gardens past—and inspire you to let their legacies loose in your yard!

  • If you care about local, sustainable, and ethical farming, choose Hudson Valley Seed Company! We have a small homestead and have been ordering seeds from Hudson Valley Seed Company for years. They are deeply committed to protecting the diversity of crops which thrive in the New York and New England area. Their seeds have extremely high germination rates and we have been thrilled with the amount of produce we get out of our rocky, clay-filled Connecticut soil. Also, for those who like to "put food by," their catalog clearly states which varieties store well in a larder versus those that don't keep. We enjoy fresh parsnips, carrots, turnips and celery well into spring from the seeds we planted the previous year. And be sure to order the gorgeous art packs which support local artists!

  • Beyond wonderful! I started buying from Hudson Valley Seed in 2020. These seeds always give me a high yield. The packages are gorgeous and I keep them in my gardening journal and center my notes around them. The sowing instructions answer every question in a readable format. On the packet. The seeds are beautiful natural seeds not coated in weird stuff. I love his early concept of a seed library. Lifetime customer!!

  • I love this company ☺️

    Their art packs are amazing. Last year I asked about butterfly pea seeds and they didn't have them. They were nice enough to recommend another company who did carry it. I came back again this year and they had them in stock with a beautiful art pack! I think I just made it in time for them to start carrying it.

    They also have a nursery section!

  • HVS is my go-to seed company for the last 6 seasons. Great quality and consistently good germination. Love the heirloom varieties they offer and that many are adapted to our region. Have also had great success with all the bulbs and garlic I've purchased. I start hundreds of plants from seed each year and have never had anything from them fail!
