our
story
plant your love and let it grow
​
Silver Seed was originally founded in the 80s by Jay and Kathy Martin in Bivalve, MD. In that era, Jay and Kathy grew certified organic vegetable transplants for growers along the east coast.
​
Silver Seed was named after the Neil Young song, After the Gold Rush which portrays the environmental concerns that humans have faced throughout time. Silver Seed operates in the hopes that humans learn to live in tune with nature and it's cycles.

"Flying Mother Nature's silver seed
To a new home in the sun"
-Neil Young
Over the years, the business took shape in various ways in the form of market and CSA vegetable production known as Provident Farm. In 2024, Jay and Kathy's oldest daughter, Heather, regnited the Silver Seed concept.
Today, Silver Seed offers vegetable and herb starts for home gardeners and small-scale growers and garden workshops and events. Sign up for our email list to receive updates.
We look forward to growing with you!
