New to Harris Seeds’ offering are Spin-Farming® books. SPIN stands for Small Plot INtensive farming, and it fits in the front lawn, backyard, or back forty. These practical guides are based on the experiences of actual urban, suburban, and rural farms and designed to help the small-scale farm succeed. When customers purchase either SPIN-Farming guide, they’ll receive a free invitation to join the SPIN-Farming online forum, which provides peer-to-peer support from some of the brightest and most innovative minds in farming today. It is an excellent resource for both beginning and experienced small-scale growers.
In addition to the expansive selection of vegetable seed varieties, growers will also find market leading field-grown cut flowers, fruit trees and plants, and seed starting and growing supplies, including an expanded line of plastic row covers and support hoops. Harris Seeds introduced Worm Power last year, a certified organic fertilizer produced by millions of earthworms that offers improved germination, better root growth, less transplant shock, and enhanced plant vigor.
All products in the catalog are available at harrisseeds.com. Growers who are not already on Harris Seeds’ mailing list can request a catalog online or by calling (800) 544-7938.
About Harris Seeds
The Harris Seeds company (harrisseeds.com) began its catalog operation in 1879. It evolved from the efforts of Joseph Harris, an English immigrant who became extremely successful in the selection of superior strains of vegetables and grains.
Joseph Harris settled in the Genesee Valley Region of Western New York in the 1850’s. His success as a seedsman led to the beginning of Harris Seeds in 1879. The company became widely popular because of his basic business philosophy – "offer my customers a quality product at a fair price and they will return." Harris Seeds is an active member of the American Seed Trade Association, the National Garden Bureau and the Mail-order Gardening Association.
