About
A little bit about us...
From a very young age, we have always loved growing our food and watching plants grow. What had started as a school project had evolved into a lifelong passion. When we were in elementary school, we were learning about germination. Our teachers had us wrap pinto beans in a damp paper towel and after a few days, we watched them sprout. The thought that a plant or a tree can grow out of a tiny seed still holds our amazement to this day.
​
We had started a few gardens a few years ago, and we began to collect seeds from heirloom varieties of plants we had grown. We started our small company and have been growing ever since. We reach out to various family seed farms, local seed farms, and seed exchanges to procure our inventory. We believe sustainably sourced seeds are best for the environment and the garden. Our goal is to expand, to have our seed packets printed out with our artwork, and to give back to the community.
​
We are passionate about heirloom, organic, and hybrid pumpkin varieties. We are always keeping up to date on new varieties being developed, as well as forgotten or rare heirlooms that are experiencing a resurgence. In addition to our vast array of pumpkin seeds, we also offer exciting hybrid and heirloom varieties of various fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. We continually seek out exciting new seeds for folks to try.
​
We hope you are excited about the selection, and that you get to experience the same joy we do every year when we grow several of them. Gardening is an adventure, and there are exciting things to learn each year. Visit our blog to see what we are growing, garden updates, and to ask questions or find out more about gardening.

Meet the team
Brian
It's good to meet you! I'm the owner of Blue Pumpkin Seed Co., and an avid gardener myself. I wear a lot of hats including designing our website, designing our seed packets, posting on social media, counting and labeling seeds, fulfilling orders and giving occasional presentations in my area on gardening. I'm also responsible for answering our emails and social media posts.
When I'm not busy running the shop, you can often find me indulging in my other hobbies, gaming, blending tea, soap making, and watercolor painting. As an ardent lover of Halloween and Autumn, I wholeheartedly embrace all the spooky delights that come with them. Additionally, I'm a huge animal lover and take joy in sharing my knowledge of gardening with others.
