Many seed companies offer open-pollinated and heirloom seeds, but not all specialize in them. Help us promote regional and national sources of open-pollinated and heirloom seeds by patronizing those companies that do.
Those companies and non-profits operating within and adjacent to the Ozarks are denoted as such by the (Ozarks Region) tag beside their names.
If you know of a seed company that should be on this list, please send us your suggestions using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
Thanks and enjoy!
