Brassica oleracea & rapa
Broccoli
Broccoli
This seed blend is a real treat featuring a large mix of seeds from our 2024 grantee, Clint Freund, of 'Cultivating the Commons' in Amery, Wisconsin. Clint trialed a bounty of broccoli varieties in 2024 and we are all the better for it as a large bag of seeds was added into this mix - surely you will be seeing some of the fruits of his labors when you plant these in 2025. Beyond Clint's offerings, we saw additional donations as well from the greater Going to Seed community, including a bit of Brassica rapa. You can select for the heading type of broccoli you crave - sprouting, lateral rosettes, or central leader. You can simply plant to harvest or you can plant to harvest and shoot for flowers and seeds. The choice is yours.
Packets contain over 200 seeds.

Are seeds really free?
Are seeds really free?
Our mission is to make diverse seeds available to everyone. Although the seeds are free, you will need to pay for shipping. In addition, we ask you to consider making a donation to cover program costs. This allows us to make seed free for those who need it.

Seeds will ship within a week of ordering. This program is run by dedicated and hardworking volunteers. Going to Seed is not a seed company. You may receive packages that have less than the stated number of seeds, germination rates may not meet the federal standards, shipping may be slower than you prefer, or there may be any other number of unanticipated glitches. Please be patient with us as we improve the standards over time.

About the Seed Steward
Joseph resides at 2150 to 2450 feet on his 68 acre farmstead in the Blanchard Creek Valley of northeast Washington state. Just miles beyond the Northeast slopes of Mount Spokane - the highest peak of the Selkirk Mountain range - you will find him in his gardens, fields, and forests toiling with earnest and devout intent. In this rugged temperate climate - where last frosts can creep into early June and first frosts can sneak into late August - he works with annual and perennial plants selecting for short season harvest schedules and drought and cold resilience. Brassicas are a natural fit.
