High Mowing, to my knowledge, contracts with individuals to grow some seed for them. They also produce some seed themselves. They buy seed from growers in the western U.S. when that results in more disease free seed. I think they get some lettuces and greens from Frank Morton (writing from memory that is the name that comes to mind). They have some sort of business arrangement with Vitalis Seeds (a European company) to carry their hybrids. They have invested significantly in a seed quality lab to ensure their seeds are high quality. I will forward this to High Mowing to let them respond better, but it is a holiday weekend for people who work for companies.

 

They have a page on their website about their seed sources: http://highmowingseeds.com/Where-our-seed-comes-from.html
