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.


Who It’s For

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

  • Homesteaders producing food for their household and beyond

  • Budding market gardeners developing new growing skills

  • Rural gardeners expanding their garden footprint this year

  • Households growing bountifully in short summers to sustain themselves through long winters

Not recommended for small-space growers. For scaled-down support, see our Backyard or Urban Farm collections.

    Trust Our Seeds

    Every Taiga collection is designed to take the guesswork out of growing. You’ll receive everything needed for one full growing season—saving you time, money, and second-guessing at the seed rack.

    Each packet is customized for short-season success and tailored to northern growing conditions. These aren’t generic seeds—they’re carefully chosen, tested, and trusted by our farm in Zone 3.

    Here’s what sets our seeds apart:

    • Always Non-GMO
    • Includes heirloom and antique varieties
    • Open-pollinated for seed saving
    • Fast-growing and frost-tolerant options
    • Suited for 90–100 day growing windows
    • Fresh-packed for high germination
    • Selected for staggered harvests & seasonal yield
    • Sourced from independent U.S. growers

    All varieties are first proven on our own cold-climate farm before they ever make it into a Taiga collection—so you can grow with confidence in yours.

    Taiga Farm and Seed Bean Seeds and Packet

    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.

    Taiga Farm and Seed Flowering Peas

    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.

    Taiga Farm and Seed Savoy Cabbage Beginning to Mature

    In the night, the cabbages catch at the moon, the leaves drip silver, the rows of cabbages are a series of little silver waterfalls in the moon.
