About Us

Siegers Seed Company: a family owned business since 1912.

Siegers Seed Company was founded in 1912 in Chicago, Illinois by Nanne Sluis, a Dutch immigrant and the great-grandfather of current owner and President, Rick Siegers.

For almost 100 years, we have been committed to helping our growers achieve success by bringing them the right varieties at the right time to meet specific market needs.

At Siegers Seed Company, we specialize in fresh market vegetable varieties. Whether you ship your produce or sell it locally, we have trial data and experience with the varieties that work in your region and meet your market demands!

Every year, our seed consultants evaluate hundreds of trials all over the Eastern United States and Canada, to determine the viability of new products. If there's a variety out there that might meet your needs, then we put it through our three-phase trial program in your region before we introduce it. This rigorous product development system ensures that when you have questions, we have trustworthy answers.

Siegers Seed Company serves commercial growers in the Midwest, Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States, as well as in Canada. Our company headquarters is located in Southwest Michigan, and satellite offices are located in central Florida and Canada.

Today, in the 21st century, Siegers Seed Company continues with a long tradition of providing honest, dependable service that is based on Christian family values. With almost one hundred years of experience behind us, you can trust us to help you with your vegetable seed needs!


Extensive trials keep us on the cutting edge to bring you the newest proven varieties to keep you ahead of your competition.
