® Breeding and Producing Organic Seeds When Vitalis Organic Seeds first entered the organic produce market in 1994, we were motivated by a passion to become leaders in breeding varieties adapted to organic agriculture systems, as well as providing the highest quality organic seed. Today we develop and produce more than 150 certified organic and regionally adapted varieties of vegetables and culinary herbs for the North American market. To mark our achievements, we hosted a 25th anniversary celebration at our research station in San Juan Bautista, CA this past August, with more than 200 growers, shippers, dealers, breeders and certifiers in attendance. In her opening remarks, Vitalis North America Business Manager Erica Renaud explained our philosophy: “At Vitalis, our organic seed is a natural complement to organic production techniques that work with biological systems such as crop rotation, intercropping, organic fertilization, natural pest control and mechanical cultivation for weed control. Conventionally produced seed, based on subjection to chemically based inputs, cannot be used to accomplish the goals of organic agriculture.” While we are proud of the dedication that has brought us to where we are today – global leaders in organic seed production and variety development – we have no intention of resting on our laurels. Providing the highest quality organic seed of vegetables and herbs that are best adapted to our warming and increasingly unpredictable climate, to new and innovative organic production practices, and to evolving consumer trends demands our ongoing attention. The challenges we are facing in agriculture are increasing, but so too is our ability at Vitalis Organic Seeds to address these challenges with new and innovative solutions. We are excited about the new products we have to offer in 2020, and invite you to join us in our commitment to create an organic world together. Thank you for choosing Vitalis Organic Seeds. 1 2
