Homestead Seed Collection
Grow with purpose. Feed with abundance. Cultivate with skill.
The Homestead Seed Collection was born out of our own transition—from city life to farm life—when we began growing not just for ourselves, but for our CSA and community. Of all our seed collections, this one most reflects the spirit that drives Taiga: the legacy of those who came north envisioning a better life—growing what they could in short summers to sustain themselves through long winters, and sharing the bounty with others.
It's for serious northern growers ready to feed a household—and then some. With 80 cold-climate-adapted, open-pollinated seed packets, this collection is built for those producing food at scale: homesteaders, serious gardeners, and budding market growers looking to deepen their skills and maximize their land.
From succession planting to preservation, it provides a full-season roadmap for short-season productivity and long-winter nourishment.

Gardeners growing in 3,500–5,000+ sq ft

Why Taiga Seeds?
Detailed
Growing in Zones 3 and 4 isn’t easy—frost dates shift, summers are short, and most seed info isn’t written for us. We make it simple with seed packets designed specifically for northern success.
Tried & True
These aren’t theoretical varieties. Every seed has been trialed on our northern farm and taste-tested by CSA members. If it didn’t perform here, it didn’t make the cut.
Tailored
Too many seeds, not enough relevance. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or starting fresh, we curate collections to match your garden goals and growing conditions.
Fresh
No warehouse leftovers. Every packet is packed with the current season’s freshest seed for strong germination and resilient growth.
Why Garden?
Versatile
Whether it’s herbs on the windowsill or a full backyard harvest, gardening fits any space. Even the smallest slice of sunlight can grow something good.
Rewarding
Gardening brings joy, purpose, and fresh food to your table. It teaches care, patience, and where our food truly comes from.
Learning
Every garden is a living classroom—exploring plant life cycles, soil health, pollinators, and the rhythms of the seasons.
Best
Homegrown food tastes better, costs less, and cuts out the middleman. It’s better for your body, your wallet, and the planet.
Thank you for your order
You’re directly supporting a small, woman-owned farm—and every seed helps keep our mission growing strong.
