Harvesting is done, and our alliums are now curing for Fall shipment!
Time to order garlic and multiplier onions! As of late July, our supply looks good, with plenty of old favorites like Inchelium Red, and for the first time enough Asiatic types to make available for ordering.
This is a good year to order multiplier onions. We have plenty of white and yellow multipliers, plus a few interesting shallots to add to our sample packs.
We ALWAYS sell out of multiplier onions, as well as most of our garlic, so order early!
Heritage Harvest Festival
This year's 3rd annual Heritage Harvest Festival will be Saturday, September 12, 2009, 10am - 4pm, at Monticello's Montalto, just above the historic estate.
We hope you enjoyed last year's festival at Monticello's Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants at Tufton Farm.
Check out www.heritageharvestfestival.com for more information and how to come and join us this year.
It's time to start Fall and Winter veggies! Click here and here for useful planting schedule information and techniques.
Note: we are SOLD OUT of Texas Gourdseed corn for 2009. The recent Mother Earth News article on gourdseed corn generated so much interest in the corn that we sold out early! Unfortunately, we're the only commercial source that we know of for gourdseed corn, so until we can grow out more this summer, it's unavailable.
We're growing a huge crop of Texas Gourdseed in 2009, so we hope to have much more available for next year. (Additionally, we'll also be growing a small crop of Virginia Gourdseed corn, and next summer -- 2010 -- we hope to grow a crop of Carolina Gourdseed corn as well.)
We're not taking any pre-orders for the corn, but we'll put it up on our website sometime in November/December 2009 once the new crop's been harvested and processed.

Welcome to Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
Southern Exposure Seed Exchange is a wonderful source for heirloom seeds and other open-pollinated (non-hybrid) seeds with an emphasis on vegetables, flowers, and herbs that grow well in the Mid-Atlantic region. We support seed saving and 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 whenever possible for our varieties that we feel are well-suited to market growers, contracting our non-certified but philosophically organic growers to raise seeds that are more suited for home use.
Please browse our mail-order site to find heirloom tomatoes, peppers, ginseng, potato onions, okra, naturally colored cotton, southern-style greens, and much more. We think that after you try them, you'll agree that our tomatoes taste better!
