Canadian Organic Seed Sources

Many of you have asked where you can find organic seeds. Most nurseries carry at least some seeds. Larger nurseries tend to have the widest selection, including organic seeds. Seed prices are established by the seed houses - they are NOT set by the retailer. Many of the local seed producers sell online only as nurseries tend to order from large national and international seed growers rather than small, family seed farms. Please try to support local!
