 Sakata Home Grown has expanded its selection that now features more than 150 vegetable varieties in 33 crop classes covering all seasons—cool, warm and hot. Varieties in the expanded Home Grown lineup were carefully selected to be easy to grow, healthy and beautiful for home gardens of any size—from a few pots on the patio to a few acres behind the barn.
Heather Kibble, Sakata Home Grown manager, says of the newly expanded collection, “With a worldwide team of breeders and product managers, plus nearly 100 years of vegetable know-how under our belts, Home Grown customers can be assured our expanded lineup will more than meet their needs.”
Now in its second year, Sakata Home Grown distributes seed via wholesale dealers to greenhouse growers, seed packet and mail-order customers, and smaller produce growers across the United States and Canada. Sakata, together with Chriseed, a subsidiary of Sakata Seed Corporation, has a reputation for supplying the best broccoli, beets, cabbage, spinach and pumpkin varieties.
New to the Home Grown offerings are Tivoli spaghetti squash, the All-America Selections award-winning super food; Sweet Treats, the unique pink cherry tomato loaded with bite-sized fruit; and Jalafuego, one of the hottest jalapeño pepper on the market.
For a closer view of the varieties mentioned above (plus 147 more), wholesale customers and growers can look to the new Sakata Home Grown catalog. The 50-page resource is loaded with varieties from arugula to watermelon. Informative descriptions, charts and images help customers make the right choice. Plus, “Healthy Hints” scattered throughout the catalog remind readers about vegetable nutrition, storage and cooking.
For a free copy of the new Sakata Home Grown catalog or distributor list, growers should send their name and address to info@sakata.com or simply visit www.sakata.com to download a PDF. GT
