Employee Ownership

Johnny's Selected Seeds is proud to be 100% employee-owned. Shares of company stock are allocated to employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). These shares represent a significant retirement benefit for our employees, but they also mean that everyone has real stake in the company's success; after all, we are its owners. At the end of the day, we answer to ourselves and to our customers rather than outside shareholders. Learn more about Employee Ownership.

About Central Maine

Johnny's is situated about halfway between the coast and the western mountains, near Colby and Thomas Colleges. We are just 90 minutes from Moosehead Lake and Maine's unspoiled north woods and less than an hour from scenic midcoast Maine. If you're an outdoor enthusiast—fishing, hiking, skiing, boating, biking, and more—you'll love this region.
