Victory Seed Company, A Little Known Gem

by Jared Neibaur

The beginning of the year is seed catalog season and if you are anything like me you look forward to each new seed catalog that will come. I spend time comparing the varieties in each as each company has its own special exclusive seed, for this reason I am always on the lookout for little known seed companies. Last year I came across a small seed company out of Oregon that is dedicated to the preservation of old and rare seed varieties. I was immediately impressed by their commitment to their craft and was later impressed by their helpful website. It was just too good not to share.

With a focus on quality, Victory Seed Company offers a good selection of tried and true heirloom, non-gmo, and open pollinated seed.  They also have a fairly good selection of rare and interesting seed that they are working to save and preserve. I have been pleased with the seed that I have bought from them. The best part for me is that they package each order from their seed supply, meaning it doesn't sit on a shelf for months in a little paper pouch before I buy it. That technique keeps the seed just that much more fresh in the end.

Unlike many small home grown seed companies, Victory Seed has a wealth of gardening information on their website. Though their wisdom grew from gardening in Oregon the information on their website is extremely helpful, even for me here in Idaho. There is some great information on seed starting and seed saving. I have often used their localized climate information as well. Besides the gardening and growing information, they have some fun articles about the history of gardening, especially the victory gardens of WWII.

Dunton Family Farms

Victory Seed Company is part of Dunton Family Farms. This family has been farming their ground in Oregon for five generations now. They have been using organic farming methods on their farm since the 1980's. They haven't chased after the USDA's "certified organic" label, which unfortunately  doesn't mean much anymore anyway,  but they have been certified through a grassroots organization instead.

Full disclosure here. It is important to note that this review is my honest evaluation of the Victory Seed Company. I have not been paid for writing this article. I personally met Mike Dunton last summer and I was truly impressed by the company's down-to-earth nature. Do them a favor and check them out! Their catalogue and website aren't nice and shiny like other big names out there, but their products and information are real quality.
