Four Fold Farm is the beating heart of the Hudson Valley Seed Company. Named after the four quadrants of the quatrefoil shape that make up our Artist Design Seed Packs (Art Packs), Four Fold Farm is where we grow Certified Organic open-pollinated seeds, including many fascinating heirlooms that are at risk of falling out of circulation. Open-pollinated varieties allow us (and you!) to join a long line of seed savers who preserve and pass down seeds from one generation to the next, telling seed stories along the way.

In addition to stewarding 5+ acres of seed crops, Four Fold Farm produces heirloom shallots and other alliums, sunchokes, and a diverse collection of dahlia tubers. Part of our stewardship mission is to improve the resilience of our landscape and food systems by trialing diverse seeds and bulbs each season, offering only the very best of these in our catalog. We also collaborate with independent and university-led breeding programs, in addition to trialing and innovating seed-saving methods. One of the perks of farm life is getting to taste amazing new flavors each season, and sharing our abundant harvests with coworkers, friends and local food pantries. Our farm keeps us grounded, in touch with the daily joys and challenges of growing. Four Fold Farm shares the site with our Brick and Mortar retail shop at 11 Airport Road in Accord, NY. You can learn more by joining us for one of our Farm or Trials Garden Tours, Joining a Seed Processing Workshop or other class throughout the year. Learn more about upcoming classes and tours here.

  • 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!

  • HVSC 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!
