ABOUT HIGH MOWING:
"At High Mowing Organic Seeds, we believe in re-imagining what our world can be like. We believe in a deeper understanding of how re-built food systems can support health on all levels – healthy environments, healthy economies, healthy communities and healthy bodies. We believe in a hopeful and inspired view of the future based on equity, environmental justice and better stewardship of our planet. Every day that we are in business, we are growing; working to provide an essential component in the re-building of our healthy food systems: the seed. We know that together we can build a greener, more just and community supported world, one seed at a time.

As we've grown, we have continually worked to sell only the best quality organic seed for varieties selected for their exceptional performance in organic conditions. We have expanded the selection and availability of organic seed, we've reached out to other farmers, locally and across the country, to produce seed for us, and we've established partnerships with wholesale seed companies that have made commitments to develop and produce organic seed.

In our own operation, we’ve implemented the highest quality standards for seed testing and invested in our on-site lab and Quality Control department, we have purchased state-of-the art seed cleaning and sorting equipment, we have built a knowledgeable customer service team – many of whom are growers – to answer customer questions, and we have maintained a rigorous trials program to assess and develop varieties that thrive in organic conditions."
