About
Our Company
What
We Offer & Our Business Philosophy
Welcome
to VictorySeeds.com, the Web home of the
Victory
Seed Company
and our packets of
Victory Seeds®. We currently have hundreds of open-pollinated and
heirloom seed
varieties in stock and ready to ship.
Along
with our
seed
selection, we offer quality.
Our
Victory
Seeds® meet, and usually
exceed, industry and regulatory standards (refer to our
warranty
page). Instead of seeds that are packaged ahead of time,
moved through various distribution locations only to end up sitting on a
rack in the garden center of your favorite store, our seeds are
received, quality checked, and stored until their sale.
Unlike
most seed companies that purchase all of their seed stock and repackage, we
actually do
farm
and what seed we don't raise here, we obtain from a network of carefully selected growers. We then store them under controlled conditions until they are shipped out to you.
Our packaging, with our inner resealable bag, reflects how we work to maintain the viability of your seeds.
Customer
service is also very important to us. We work hard to promptly answer email,
fill orders quickly, and update product
availability information on this Web site as it changes.
In
summary, our goal as an organization, is to provide you, our friends and
customers, with the highest value for your money -- a good selection,
reasonable prices, high quality
open-pollinated
and
heirloom seeds,
and responsive customer support. We want your gardening experience
to be positive and fruitful. If you are successful, we are
successful. We hope that you will give us a chance to prove ourselves as
a company worthy of your business.
We
hope that you will use the links in the left margin
and take some time to learn more about our work and our
services.
Our Mission
Why
Support the Victory Seed Company?
The
primary reason for our existence as an organization is to help protect
open-pollinated and
heirloom seed varieties during a time when the
diversity of plant life
on our planet is quickly shrinking.
Regions
of the planet that provided much of the genetic material for our
domesticated crop plants is rapidly being destroyed or irreversibly
damaged. Additionally, in the past few years there has been a growing trend of
mergers and
consolidations among the seed industry. With responsibility to
shareholders as a motive, less profitable and similar seed varieties are being
dropped from the seed lines of the combined companies. In many cases,
these plants are forever lost to us all.
As
we witness the elimination of old varieties from other
company's offerings, the emphasis of commercial
unstable hybrids, and the
proliferation of
genetically modified organisms (GMOs), we
feel an urgency in our mission.
We have therefore dedicated
our efforts to
preserving and promoting the
use of
open-pollinated varieties -- old commercial releases as
well as family
heirlooms -- and working towards the protection of our genetically diverse
horticultural
heritage. We truly believe in teaching these principals to all who have ears to
learn.
Your
support allows us to maintain a seed bank, educate the public, remain independent
from the mainstream seed trade, and ensure that important varieties
remain commercially available to future gardeners. Please use
the links on the left to learn more about our projects and opportunities
where you may be able to help with these efforts.
