Organic
At Johnny’s, we have been farming organically and offering organically-produced seed since 1979, and as one of the original signers of the Safe Seed Pledge, we advocate for non-GMO seed production. We offer a large selection of certified-organic seeds and plants for the commercial farm or home garden, as well as OMRI-listed growing supplies (e.g., fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides) approved for use on certified-organic crops. We both breed and trial under organic conditions on our research farm and at trial locations across the country, to ensure we bring you only the best organic seed varieties, able to withstand the rigors of low-input, organic growing conditions.
