Vermont Gourmet Seed Company was founded in 2019 by someone who understands the importance of health and resilience firsthand. After overcoming a life-threatening illness—encephalitis—which left the founder bedridden and uncertain of the future, the journey to better health began. In the face of medical uncertainty, the founder discovered the incredible healing power of microgreens, which contain concentrated nutrients essential for recovery. Inspired by this discovery, Vermont Gourmet Seed Company was born to share the life-changing benefits of microgreens with others.

The business grew out of the founder’s personal experience with microgreens, and the desire to make these potent, nutritious foods accessible to everyone. The company focuses on providing affordable and simple ways for families, schools, and communities to grow and enjoy microgreens at home. From the early days of growing on a limited budget to the creation of specialized seed mixes, every step of the journey has been driven by a passion for health and wellness. Today, Vermont Gourmet Seed Company continues to honor that legacy by offering products that promote a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle—one seed at a time.
