Heather and Audrey, Red Gate Ranch, LLC.We’ve been purchasing seeds from Redwood Seeds for over a decade for our organic market garden in Red Bluff, California. Their seeds are perfect for our 9b growing zone. We find ourselves regularly planting many varieties of their melons and winter squash, while always finding new varieties to keep our CSA and farmers market customers happy. We are pleased to have such a high quality, certified organic seed producer so close to home, and we recommend them for all of your gardening needs.
Ariadne Grace., Dancefarm, OR“Redwood Seeds is always my first choice, go to seed company, not only because I don’t want to support big agribusiness through my seed buying, but because their varieties are thoroughly superior, in climate resiliency, taste, and output. Their seed is among the many reasons I home grow…you just can’t get most of their heirlooms from the store. I may not be monetarily rich- but I eat like a queen thanks to Redwood!”
Lauren Muscatine, Napa County Seed LibraryI always look forward to planting seeds grown by Kalan at Redwood Seeds! Kalan stocks many European varieties and also has a great selections of culturally important seeds like popping sorghum, okra and roselle, which I've grown with amazing success! Redwood Seeds is closest to our growing zone in Northern California and for that reason its my go-to for seeds adapted to my climate.
Susan, Arizona"Just wanted to thank you for your super wonderful lettuce seeds that have produced an incredible crop in our Arizona winter garden! Jericho is a definite favorite, but the Concept & Drunken Woman are running very close behind!! They're all so perfect for our wraps & salads. Neighbors just can't believe it!"
Celen, Bella Vista, CA"Hi we had great success with the Chinese red beans from your seeds this year! Super prolific, fast growing, high yield. Very fun to watch growing from our over head trellis and made it easy to pick all the beans! Will grow again next summer and increase the amount I plant!"
"I really enjoy your seeds. As a Small Humboldt County California Farmer, I love being able to get seeds from nearby. All of the varieties I have purchased have produced very well. I get high quality, viable, well cared for seeds. I like that the selection is somewhat limited and straightforward. It makes it easy to choose and I know it will be a strong yummy plant."

Sienna O., Tehama Co, CA"Year after year, I have been pleased with the quality seeds I receive from Redwood Seeds. I've had consistently excellent germination rates, discovered heat-tolerant varieties that are vital for the Sacramento Valley summers, and I love that they are open-pollinated so that I can save some seed for next year. I am always recommending Redwood Seeds to friends, and encourage novice gardeners to sign-up for Kalan's helpful gardening emails."
