Dear Growers,

"Quality Seed, Family Owned, One Farm, One Bag at a Time" - the motto for Caverndale Farms Brand Seeds says a lot. But frankly, their motto is something that fewer seed companies can claim today.

Caverndale Farms is an independent, regional seed compaany and a proud member of IPSA - the Independent Professional Seed Association - a professional association of seed companies who endorse the concept of independence and choice in the marketplace. IPSA provides seed companies with tools to help their businesses grow and operate more efficiently, and provide more benefits to their grower - customers.

While independent seed companies may be fewer in number, they have never had more opportunities to select and produce outstanding seed products. From evaluating a larger selection of germplasm and biotech traits, to designing hybrids that match the unique needs of your geography or farming operation - regional, independent seed companies "have your back" in a way that national brands just can't match.

As farming operations get larger, the need for solid customer service increases. Seed companies today can be relied upon for advice on germplasm options, biotech trait choices, herbicide and fungicide programs, and agronomic advice. Regional seed companies can provide that one-on-one touch that is tough to find these days. Regional companies are involved in your community and they share your interests.

As input costs for farming continue to increase, the need for a real seed "partner" has never been greater. Likewise, the importance of "quality seed" from a "family owned" seed company who designs their products "one farm, one bag at a time" cannot be overstated. Buy Caverndale Farms Brand Seeds and buy with confidence!
