Traditional Heirloom Seed for Sale

We’re proud to offer heirloom seeds for sale, one of the ways we are dedicated to preserving traditional lifeways and agricultural methods. For over 35 years, our Heirloom Seed Project has been focused on maintaining the rich heritage of varieties grown throughout the Pennsylvania Dutch region. Many of these heirloom seeds date back to the 18th century!

Our commitment goes beyond selling heirloom seeds. We actively preserve seeds donated by individuals whose families have passed them down through generations. By preserving these seeds, we ensure that the legacy of traditional agriculture continues to thrive. We also welcome donations of heirloom seeds to further this mission and continue the tradition.

Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum has a variety of heirloom seeds for sale online where you can explore all your options and place your order. We additionally offer both pickup and shipping options for whichever option is most convenient for you. Explore all our heirloom seeds for sale today!

Open Pollinated Heirloom Seeds

Open pollinated seeds bring history to life, offering the flavors and beauty of the past. Known for their exceptional flavor, these seeds often represent rare varieties no longer found elsewhere. Unlike hybrids, open pollinated seeds from heirloom varieties can be saved and replanted, ensuring that each new generation stays true to its parent plant.

We proudly offer open pollinated heirloom seeds for flowers, vegetables, flax seed, flax straw, and more, all with rich historical ties to the region. Flax seed and flax straw, in particular, are one of our most popular items. Want to learn more or have questions about our open pollinated heirloom seeds? Contact us now!
