It is that exciting time of the year again, the beginning! A new season is upon us, and it is with great pleasure that we announce our NEW Updated Range of seeds for the 2026/27 growing season. 

 

❂ Our website is freshly updated for the new season ❂

 

As always, all our seeds have been germination tested, and we have crafted variety descriptions for our new selections:

 

 

 

❂ 11 NEW varieties this year! With a few more in the wings, we will notify you when we have Basil - Tulsi, and Corn - Anasazi Tuhuroa in stock.

Not to mention some old favourites we have back again. ❂

 

 

We have had Lou working in our gardens 1 day a week for a wee while now. But we are very excited to announce that she has started 4 days a week as of this month! Welcome Lou, we are very glad to have you as part of the team. Lou brings years of experience to the garden as she has been gardening probably as long as we have!

 

 

A small reminder that besides all of our lovely seeds, we also have some homegrown products to try; White Sage Smudge Sticks and our Corn Silk Tea. Both are made from plants grown in our bountiful seed gardens.

If you have been thinking of subscribing to this gem of a magazine, On the Land, you could grab a free packet of our seeds with each subscription! Offer lasts June 27th - August 20th, 2026! We subscribed last year, and each issue has so many articles of interest, matched with gorgeous photography, this is a magazine worth reading. 

 

 

On another note, we are still accepting applications for our Internship Program. We have been interviewing a few interested people, but yet to confirm all positions at this stage. Thank you to all those who applied. Please let anyone who you think may be interested know about this amazing opportunity, to live and learn on a working seed farm.

Here is an excerpt from our Autumn 2025 Intern Johanna, she shared her feedback about her time working with us on our seed farm, “One of the most grounding parts of my time there was learning to think in terms of nature’s own logic: how would this process unfold without human intervention? That mindset shaped so much of the work and made the experience feel not just educational, but meaningful.” For her full sharing and to read what others have said, head here.

As we sit in the quiet winter time, it is a time for dreaming, what will you grow this year? Will you try new things, will you stick to your favourites? Will you expand your garden? Or perhaps make it a little smaller and more manageable for you? All these questions and more should be answered now so you can make your seed list and get ordering. Unlike most years we will stay open and not close our dispatch and office for 2 weeks.  We hope to keep orders flying out the door, but we appreciate your understanding as there may be small delays answering emails and receiving your seeds as we often experience high order volume at this time.

 

We wish you well for this dreaming time and may all your dreams come true this season and you be blessed with a bountiful garden for you and your family.

 

❂ ❂ ❂
