Thank you to Ethos Seed Company for sending seeds for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
Do you tend a garden? It seems like gardening has gotten more popular since the pandemic. I’ve been gardening since I was a little girl. My grandmother first taught me the art of growing flowers and vegetables in her big garden. When I met my husband I was excited to find out that as a single guy in his early twenties, he tended his own garden! We’ve now been gardening together for the last 10 years, and are passing on the love of gardening to our children.
Recently I was introduced to a small heirloom seed company called Ethos Seed Company. They believe that every aspiring gardener should be able to access the best, productive and flavorful varieties of vegetables right in their own garden. Each Ethos Seed Company seed variety is tested for the best taste, yield and disease resistance in the owner’s own garden.
Ethos Seed Company offers a host of unusual varieties that they have gathered in their “seed vault” over the years, as well as beloved staples. All the seeds they sell are grown in America and none of them are hybrids. Marjorie, the company’s co-owner explained to me, “This is important for many reasons, namely the awful conditions some of the hybrids are grown under in other parts of the world. The hybrids are produced with a lot of manual labor, namely in India where they use women and children for this labor without giving them either proper pay or safe working conditions. This is why Ethos Seed Company seeds are grown in America”.
It’s time to sew cool weather crops that can be harvested this fall. We live in Zone 4. We sewed Red Streak Mizuna and Crimson Tide Mustard. Marjorie shared with me that “The Crimson Tide Mustard gives a really amazing salad green! It’s so beautiful and the flavor is mild when it’s growing in the colder months, much like arugula.” In just 20-45 days from sewing we’ll be enjoying both of these awesome greens in fresh salads this fall.
We also received Miike Giant Mustard, Devil’s Ear Lettuce, Monstreux de Viroflay Spinach, Boule D’Or Turnips, Lunar White Carrots and Red Gem Marigolds. We are looking forward to filling our garden with seeds from Ethos Seed Company!

This sounds like an amazing company; I love that all the seeds are grown in the US and are not hybrids. I am about to move into a house where I can finally have my own little garden, I can’t wait! I will definitely order from Ethos; I am excited to see how they work. Thank you so much for sharing!

I was not aware of the conditions that hybrid seeds are grown under. I found that very informative. You have some great choices in seeds for a fall/winter garden.

Thanks for the introduction to the Ethos Seed Company! After browsing their website, I found a few types of seeds that would do well on our property. Although I don’t have a dedicated garden, I like to have some flowers for pollinators and some easy herbs growing here and there, and Ethos seems like a good source.

I like that the seeds are heirloom and not hybrids and that they’re from the United States. I didn’t know about the hybrids coming from India. Devil’s Ear Lettuce sounds interesting. I will have to check this company’s website out.

In my next place with a bit more lawn/land this is definitely something I want to incorporate and have. I love the concept of having a small garden. Ethos seems like a good brand I’ll have to keep my eye out for. Sometimes just knowing about a product beforehand and just going out and getting it can give you more confidence to come back and ask more questions or buying decisions in the future on what works and what doesn’t work for you. Great Review!
This sounds like an excellent company! I’ve been wanting to start a vegetable garden for a long time and I would love to buy my seeds from Ethos Seed Company.
