Seeds of Scotland- Jannis Beetroot

Based in the Scottish Highlands, Seeds of Scotland is a small but passionate seed company dedicated to preserving and promoting Scotland’s agricultural heritage. Founded in March 2023 by Haley and Finlay, the company specialises in open-pollinated vegetable, herb, and flower seeds that thrive in Scotland’s unique climate. Recognising the challenges of growing food in Scotland’s wet and humid conditions, Seeds of Scotland provides locally adapted seeds that enhance resilience and biodiversity. Their focus on agroecological farming and heritage varieties helps gardeners cultivate sustainable harvests. In addition to supplying high-quality seeds, they offer workshops on seed saving, empowering growers to preserve the best-adapted plant varieties. In January 2025, they achieved organic certification from the Soil Association Scotland. As featured in Issue 10 of Hidden Scotland Magazine, Seeds of Scotland is nurturing a movement toward self-sufficiency and ecological stewardship, ensuring future generations can continue to grow and enjoy Scotland’s native crops.
