Heritage Seed and ProduceLocated near Westport, in the heart of the Rideau Lakes, Heritage Seed and Produce specializes in the propagation of heirloom fruit and vegetables without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Heritage Seed and Produce, owned and operated by Darcy Lloyd was formed in 2005 to continue in the preservation of our agricultural heritage. Heirloom varieties have been grown for several generations. They are open-pollinated by wind and insects, allowing us to save the seed to grow for years to come, ensuring our future food supply. As a seed exchange member of Seeds of Diversity Canada, and participant of Seedy Saturdays throughout Ontario and Quebec, we are able to acquire heirlooms that are rare and at risk of extinction. These heritage varieties are acclimatized to our northern climate by utilizing agricultural land throughout the area, maintaining varietal purity. Our ancestors have left us a rich agricultural heritage to be treasured. It is Heritage Seed and Produce's mission to preserve that heritage through the propagation, collection, and sale of heritage seeds for present and future generations to come. We welcome any and all comments and suggestions that you may have in order to continually improve our site, variety selection, and service. Our seeds can also be found at Canadian Tire, in Perth, Ontario. Specialty seed gift packs available at the Village Green in Westport and Balderson Cheese Factory in Balderson,Ontario Please see our latest product to combat deerflies under pest control. |
