While not all the varieties I've tried have been great producers, I believe Seed Savers Exchange is worth supporting.  Their mission is saving and sharing heirloom varieties.  Each year I find a couple more to add to my list of favorites--for reasons of production, storage, appearance and/or flavor.  Have had great luck especially with their beans, tomatoes and peppers.

Seconding that.

They are also very good at keeping strains straight. Their Amish Paste tomato really is the strain I could get ten or twenty years ago -- much of the seed now on the market under that name seems to be at least partly something else.
