Organic Seed Resources
The following is a current list
of organic seed resources. Anyone seeking an exemption from the organic
seed requirement should (at least) check the resources on this list first.
Note that you are not required to purchase organic seed if it is not commercially available in appropriate form, quality, quantity or variety to fit your Organic Production System Plan. For instance, you do not have to buy organic wheat seed in 1 oz. packets to plant 500 acres if that is the only quantity in which it is available. You do not have to buy dirty or low-germination seed if that is the only quality available. Reasons for not using organic seed must be documented, along with efforts made to search for organic seed. For additional information, contact us.
