Seeds of Diversity's Member Seed Directory
A listing of 3000 varieties of vegetable, fruit, grain and herb seeds saved by members across the country. This directory (and it's contents!) is available to members only, so sign up if you'd like access to this incredible grassroots resource: an incredible example of People Protecting the People's Seeds.
Ecological Seed Finder
This service (updated for the 2013 season) helps you find seeds that are well-suited to your region of Canada. Choose a crop species and select your region to find which seed suppliers are located near you. Local seed companies often sell the varieties that are best suited for your region. Local food grows better from local seeds!
Find Organic Seed
Canadian Organic Growers developed FindOrganicSeed.ca with the goal of making it easier for organic farmers to find the seed they need. Browse the catalogues of many organic suppliers. Keep track of your choices by making a "seed list" that you can come back to as often as you like.
Seedy Saturdays
These events happen all across the country through the winter months, and each features a community seed exchange. Trade or purchase seed grown by local gardeners. We have an event listing on our website - check back for updates as the winter progresses.
Seed Living
Get involved in this online forum for seed savers offering homegrown seeds for sale and swap. Search among hundreds of choices offered by gardeners, farmers, seed collectors, bee keepers, homesteaders and woodworkers. You must register and be a validated SeedLiving member in order to sell and swap. Registration and validation are free.
Saskatchewan-Alberta Organic Producers Directory
The Saskatchewan-Alberta Organic Producers Directory is a jointly funded effort undertaken by your local organic farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan. There are over 1400 organic producers in Saskatchewan and Alberta producing everything from large green lentils to certified organic lamb. Use this directory to find the exact organically grown seeds that you need, exactly where and when you need them!
