Organic seeds can be ordered from a number of companies. None of us who  
grow quantities of organic vegetables purchase seeds in packets from local  
sources. Most of us grow our own transplants.
 
 Start with Fedco Seeds (fedcoseeds.com), Johnnies Seeds, High Mowing  
seeds, Search on-line for other companies. I sometimes order from as many as a  
dozen to get what I want in organic seeds. These are mostly but not always 
in  bulk quantities, it just depends on the amounts I need of particular  
varieties.
 
If you can't find sources online you are using a very poor search engine.  
Google has no trouble finding companies that sell bulk quantities of 
certified  organic seeds.
 
There are v ery few affordable sources of certified organic transplants in  
large quantities. That's why we all grow our own. If I had to buy 300 
tomato  plants at $2.50 each I wouldn't farm.

HELP  HELP HELP!!!

Can't seem to find any sources (online or otherwise) for  certified organic 
seeds or transplants for production vegetable farming. Any  suggestions? My 
farm is located in Southeast lower Michigan and I'm running  out of time!

NOTE: All I've been able to find thus far are $3.95 seed  packets 
containing "family garden" quantities, and no transplants what so  ever. (Don't think 
anyone would be willing to buy carrots at market for $1  each, do you?)

A great big "thank you" in advance!!
