Welcome and Thank You for Stopping By!

Since we're out amongst the crops weeding and such, we are CLOSED FOR SEED ORDERS (see FAQs). Look to late August / early September for resumption of orders for fall-planted grains.

Free Resources for the Self-Reliant Gardener

Whether you're beginning or advancing your self-reliant lifestyle, these practical, printable resources are here to help.

Let's see 'em!


Great Lakes Staple Seeds partners with Indiana seedsman John Sherck to offer a diverse selection of regionally adapted, open-pollinated, untreated seed, each one savable and grown with care. Our varieties are chosen for resilience, nutritional value, and compatibility with ecological growing systems. From our Michigan homestead and John’s Indiana farmstead, we use regenerative practices that build soil, preserve biodiversity, and promote lasting sustainability. We're honored to be part of your healthy, self-reliant lifestyle; thank you for planting with us!
