Driftless Seed Supply
Driftless Seed Supply (DSS) offers high-quality seeds and supplies with integrity and transparency for Midwest growers. We grow seeds collaboratively in and for the Midwest. We are committed to providing locally produced, regionally adapted vegetable, flower, and native prairie seeds, with a priority to offer certified organic seed when possible. In addition to seeds, DSS offers a range of growing supplies such as soil, fertilizers, tools, and more.
We believe in the great potential held in each of our seeds: nourishment of our Midwest people and communities; economic vitality for the rural Midwest; connection to ancestral wisdom; and the resilience and healing of Earth in a time of unprecedented change.
We provide over 140 varieties selected for Midwest adaptation, with over 80% certified organic and produced regionally.
COLLABORATIVELY GROWN
We grow seeds collaboratively in and for the Midwest. As experienced Midwest growers, we thoroughly understand this climate.
Like every region, the Midwest has a unique set of growing conditions with diverse topographies, microclimates, soil and weather patterns.
Through generations of seed production and rigorous trialing, working in close collaboration with farmers across the region, Driftless Seed Supply (DSS) provides seeds that are best suited for our unique growing conditions. This helps ensure that Midwest farmers and gardeners have access to seeds that will thrive and produce excellent yields.
QUALITY FOCUSED
Quality seeds and supplies are the cornerstone of Driftless Seed Supply. We view quality not as a static component but as part of our process of continuous improvement.
This begins with sourcing seeds that are bred, trialed, and collaboratively grown in the Midwest.
We prioritize the fresh eating experience produced by our seeds, versus how well a variety can be shipped or processed.
SEEDS WITH INTEGRITY
Integrity and transparency are layered into every facet of our business and each seed we sell. Unfortunately, this is not the industry standard, and customers are often left in the dark about how and where seeds are produced.
Instead of opaque multinational supply chains exploiting international pay disparities for cheap skilled labor, we openly share our seed sources to the best of our ability.
