E&M Seeds was founded by Eric and Mary Black in Seattle in 2010 as a way to steward the vegetable varieties they had come to love. In an effort to share the seed they saved and promote the use of organic seeds among their friends and acquaintances, they started by sending packages of seeds to friends who expressed any interest in growing them. In 2011, E&M Seeds opened its Etsy shop, and began selling organic seeds nationally, primarily to gardeners. In 2013, we moved from Seattle to live amongst the rolling hills a small agricultural community on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.
E&M Heirloom Seeds is a small family business, and we only sell open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds. All of our seeds are sustainably grown by us in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

E&M Heirloom Seeds has signed the Safe Seed Pledge:
"Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities."
Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.
