100% Michigan Grown Staple Crop Seeds that Empower Your Plant-based Lifestyle Goals

Great Lakes Staple Seeds

Welcome and thank you for stopping by!

September 30th: We are open for orders of our fall-shipped grains ONLY! Yes, really, just fall-planted grains are currently available for order - see our FAQ. If you try to order seeds that are not in the 2023 Fall Shipped Grains Collection, you will get an error.

Our full inventory becomes available at the end of the year / early 2024. For our international customers, unfortunately there are now countries I can no longer ship to due to phytosanitary certificate or import permit requirements. Before you get your hopes up, please refer to our No Ship Country List.

Great Lakes Staple Seeds prides itself on offering a diverse selection of seeds, each and every one is regionally adapted, savable, all-natural, untreated and grown with love on our Michigan homestead. We devote our efforts to producing high-quality seeds of staple crops that meet a wide variety of plant-based nutritional and functional goals using methods that are ecologically responsible and sustainable. We are honored and grateful that you choose to include our seeds in your garden as a part of your healthy lifestyle.
