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.
