West Coast Seeds believes, first and foremost, in the principles of organic growing and sustainable agriculture.

We support growers as custodians of the land they grow on — however large or small — and through adopting organic gardening techniques such as composting, companion planting and planting pollinator-friendly plants, we help repair the world by nourishing the soil and ourselves.

Founded in 1983, West Coast Seeds' purpose was to source and supply seeds of a higher quality than had been available to home gardeners. Following the traditions of organic farming and gardening, the focus was on offering untreated seeds suitable for organic growing.
