ERNST SEEDS was founded in the early 1960s as Ernst Crownvetch Farms. This three generation family-owned and operated business was formed to meet the need for soil conservation along our interstate highways. Since that time, we have changed with the needs of the soil and water conservation industry. We are, and always have been, dedicated to providing our customers with the best native and naturalized seeds and materials available.

Today there is a great need to restore biodiversity to our environment for wildlife habitat. For many years we have strived to supply the species and materials to meet this need. We have paid special attention to providing species that enhance the beauty of the environment by their colorful flowers, fruit, and foliage. We go to great lengths to provide native seed mixes that reflect the wide variety of species that we have studied growing together in native environments. We provide a diversified selection of seeds and materials that are sure to be of the highest quality. Every order is harvested, processed, and shipped with pride and dedication from our entire family and staff.

The individual needs of our customers remain the highest priority of our business. Our family and employees are dedicated to providing you with products that reflect our values. We trust that each order will be filled to your satisfaction.
