We are a wonderful
source for heirloom vegetables selected in a day where taste and local
adaptability were the primary factors. We have an extensive line of heirloom
and other open pollinated seeds and seed saving supplies. We also carry
a wide variety of garlic and perennial onion bulbs and medicinal herb
rootstock. We are a source for naturally colored cotton seeds. Many of

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange is a wonderful
source for heirloom seeds and
other open-pollinated (non-hybrid)
vegetable, flower, grain, and herb seeds with an emphasis on seeds that
grow well in the Central Atlantic region. We support seed-saving as well
as traditional seed-breeding. Seed savers and breeders are to thank for
our rich selection and we will do whatever we can to support our customers
and associates to carry on this noble tradition.
We do extensive germination and purity testing
of our garden seeds and nursery stock to ensure that we can always provide
our customers with the highest quality possible. We want your plants to
excel.
Though the majority of seed savers that
we contract to help us raise our seeds do so using traditional natural
methods, some have opted not to become certified organic. The new USDA
Organic rules state that in order to grow Certified Organic produce, growers
must plant Certified Organic seeds if suitable certified seeds are available.
We are therefore committed to offer organic seeds for our varieties that
we feel are well suited to market growers whenever possible, contracting
our non certified organic growers to raise seeds that are more suited
for home use.
For those interested in a more affordable
alternative to the USDA Organic Program, we suggest you look into the
Certified Naturally Grown program.
Please browse our mail-order site to find
heirloom tomatoes, peppers, ginseng, potato onions, okra, naturally colored
cotton, southern style greens, peanuts, beans, and much more. We think
that after you try them, you'll agree that our tomatoes taste better
