Sustainable & Freshly Packed Seeds
About Us
Based in regional Victoria, Farmhouse Seeds was created by partners Dave and Jay from a dream of living a sustainable life while running a business that is, at it’s core, ethically sound and promotes community and abundance. Farmhouse Seeds believes nutrient rich food should be accessible and affordable. We aim to offer a supportive journey where anyone can grow nutrient packed tasty vegetables at home. We are learning all the time and want to share this with you.
Easily grow affordable, nutrient packed vegetables and herbs with support and inspiration, knowing we are right there cheering you on.
Whether it’s about increasing your vitamin and mineral intake for overall health, for financial or environmental reasons, we’ll show you how to have a productive patch without the stress!
We stock mostly heirloom seeds, so you have the choice to seed-save for next season (and beyond), or of course, we are already doing that for you. They are hardy seeds, more often than not, being heirloom seeds, have a naturally higher pest resistance and are jam-packed with so much more flavour!
- Locally-grown = sustainable.
- Home-grown produce reduces our intake of pesticides, harmful chemicals and all those transport miles!
- Freshly picked vegetables from our gardens have more nutrients than older ‘store-bought’ alternatives.
The environmental and climate impacts of growing vegetables from seed at home is phenomenal. No food miles means reduced emissions, no mechanical processing, no unnecessary plastic packaging, no chemical leaching into our food and ground water systems and no shelf life extending gas or commercial fridge cooling systems are required. Reducing the need for fossil fuels can only benefit the health of our families and our communities.
By reducing the chemicals we consume and increasing the nutrients in our vegetables, we feel and look younger and live more vibrant and happy lives!
Financially, the average price of store-bought vegetables averages about $7.00 per kilo which is a whopping $7000 per tonne. With our regular blogs and information, we can help you grow up to an entire tonne at home a fraction of that cost.
The World Health Organisation says adults need to eat at least 150kg of fresh vegetables per year to stay healthy, so why not maximise the health benefits with the freshest and healthiest possible produce.

We are an environmentally conscious company that packs our seeds in plastic-free packaging and employs environmentally friendly packaging to send through the mail system. Constantly finding new ways to reduce waste, maintain caring business practices and offsetting impacts we don’t have full control over.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT AND INFORMATION
We value being conscious about the decisions that impact our health and our environment. This conscious care extends to all parts of our lives, including about the way we source, package and share our seeds. We are committed to reducing waste, supporting Australian growers and choosing materials that tread lightly on the planet. We continually look for ways to improve our footprint while empowering home gardeners to do the same. Every small choice adds up and we’re proud to implement practices that nurture healthier soils, stronger plants for a more sustainable environment. This conscious care extends to all parts of our lives.
We reuse. We recycle. We repurpose.
