Mission Statement

To provide the means to establish or restore a more natural landscape by providing seeds of Michigan genotype wildflower and grass species as well as giving our customers the best consulting, site preparation, installation, and management services available.

Product

Michigan Wildflower Farm is a producer of native Michigan wildflower and grass seed.  Our producing plants are from foundation seed collected in Michigan, most within one hundred fifty air miles from our farm in Ionia County.  The species collected were present before European settlement and insofar as it is possible to document, from sites which have not had plant materials introduced from other areas.

Every attempt is made to maintain the broad range of genotypes present in the wild plant material.  Specific location of the original seed stock is documented.  If necessary, to augment our perennial seed supply, we purchase seed from reputable dealers in the Great Lakes region.  Grass seed is sold p.l.s. (pure live seed) and wildflower seed is sold bulk weight.  We send our seed for testing to independent seed testing laboratories.  Results of seed tests and seed origin information are available upon request.  Sample packets contain 1-3 grams of seed.
