About Us
“Cultivating a Legacy of Flavor and Health at Inherited Seeds”
Founded in 2016 with a passion for preserving culinary heritage and promoting a healthier lifestyle, Inherited Seeds is more than just a seed company; it's a journey back to our roots, a celebration of the past, and an inspiration for the future. Our humble beginnings were fueled by a simple yet profound intent - to inspire others to embrace the joy of growing their own vegetable gardens, while passing down the invaluable knowledge to younger generations, all while having fun in the process.
Nestled on a serene farm land spanning little over 5 acres in the picturesque Peoria area, we are custodians of a great inheritance - heirloom strains left to us by our forefathers. With each seed we preserve, we strive to keep alive the essence of true taste and healthy living, honoring the legacy handed down through generations. Our farm is a sanctuary for over 150 well-preserved strains, each carrying a story that embodies the richness of our culinary heritage.
As we stand in awe of the seeds we safeguard, we believe that education is the key to ensuring the legacy endures. Inherited Seeds is committed to empowering current and future generations with the knowledge of heirlooms and the art of growing one's own food efficiently. Our vision stretches beyond our current inventory; with a goal to reach over 1000 strains in the years to come, we are dedicated to expanding our treasure trove of heirloom varieties.
Unlike large commercial growers, we take pride in the intimate nature of our operations. Each seed packet is carefully hand-filled to ensure that you receive nothing but the highest quality seeds, lovingly preserved. Our commitment to consistency in packaging ensures that the essence of every strain remains true and unaltered, just as nature intended.
When you choose Inherited Seeds, you can rest assured that you are not only investing in premium quality seeds but also in the preservation of time-honored traditions. We promise to never compromise on our principles; you will never find any Genetically Modified seeds in our collection. Instead, all our seeds are harvested from organically grown open-pollinated plants, embracing nature's wisdom and fostering a healthier ecosystem.
We understand the value of each seed and the hope it holds for abundant growth. That's why we take great care to ensure that our seeds are sold fresh and viable, with a minimum viability percentage of 80%. Your satisfaction and success as a gardener are of utmost importance to us, and we are dedicated to providing a positive buying experience with each and every customer.
At Inherited Seeds, we invite you to embark on a journey that celebrates the legacy of flavor, nourishment, and wisdom passed down through generations. Together, let's sow the seeds of change and cultivate a future where homegrown, healthy food is cherished, and the heritage of our forefathers flourishes. Join us in this inspiring endeavor as we nurture a legacy of flavor and health, one seed at a time.

THE SAFE SEED PLEDGE
"Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms poses great biological risks, as well as economic, political and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities."
