Why Are Midwest-Adapted Seeds Important?
The Midwest, with its unique combination of diverse topographies, microclimates, soil types, and weather patterns, presents a distinct set of growing challenges. At Driftless Seed Supply, our deep understanding of these conditions, honed by years of experience as Midwest growers, informs every seed we produce.
Generations of seed production, coupled with rigorous trialing in partnership with regional farmers, have enabled us to offer seeds that are exceptionally well-suited to the Midwest's unique growing environment.
We strive to ensure that Midwest farmers and gardeners like you have access to seeds that set you up for success. Each generation of seeds we cultivate here in the Midwest—rather than in distant, climatically different regions—enhances the adaptability and performance of our varieties, setting them apart from those offered by many other seed companies.
Additionally, our collaboration with small local farms for most of our seed production is a testament to our dedication to strengthening the Midwest's food system. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also avoids the need to rely on large-scale production facilities in distant locations, whether out West or abroad. Our commitment goes beyond just supplying seeds.
Overheard Recently Around The Garden
Despite growing and trialing consistently, Bolero is still the most widely grown workhorse carrot on our farm. The flavor and consistent performance in different growing years and seasonal slots (as well as it relatively heavy weight and ideal storage characteristics) make it a staple.
Growers and communities in the Midwest benefit when there is a diverse selection of regionally-adapted seeds available in the retail space.
Astro Arugula is easily our favorite variety of arugula, quick to produce and slow to bolt with a subtle, nutty flavor that gets spicier as it ages and begins to flower. We’re excited to share it with you!
