We are the exclusive U.S. mail-order distributor for Franchi Seeds, Italy’s oldest family-owned seed company, founded in 1783.

Franchi’s seed packets are big and beautiful, with generous seed counts and full color photographs of every variety. Our seeds are untreated, most are open-pollinated, and many are certified organic. We are members of the Safe Seed Initiative, which means we pledge to never knowingly buy or sell genetically modified seeds or plants.
