One of the first companies to sign the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI), Hudson Valley Seed Company remains committed to values of sustainability to the last. They believe that a seed is more than meets the eye: it’s a time capsule telling tales of the plants, crops, and people that came before us, and they work with a range of artists as diverse as the seeds, to pass those stories down to present and future gardeners.
