What’s Inside the Vault?
16,000+ seeds across 35 heirloom varieties,
including vegetables, herbs, and greens for your home garden.
Includes tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, carrots, beans,
cucumbers, squash, and more.
Individually labeled packets help you identify each variety.
Planting directions on back of each packet.
A mix of crops for everyday meals and seasonal harvests.
Will These Seeds Grow?
These are non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds.
Germination depends on the variety, seed storage, soil
temperature, moisture, and planting depth.
Choose varieties suited to your climate and plant at the
right time. With proper pollination and seed-saving practices,
you can also save seeds from your harvest to replant the
same variety.
Can I Grow These as a Beginner?
You can start small. Choose a few varieties
suited to your space and season, then build your confidence
as you learn.
Start with suitable soil, adequate sunlight, water,
and containers with drainage or a garden bed.
Follow the planting directions on back
of each packet for planting depth, spacing, and timing.
Check moisture regularly and harvest when each crop is ready.
Can I Grow in a Small Space?
You don’t need a large backyard. Many varieties
can grow in containers, raised beds, or a small garden patch.
A sunny balcony can work for suitable crops, too.
Match the plant to your space: smaller crops need less room,
while larger plants need deeper containers, more space,
or support. Adequate sunlight and drainage are essential.
How Much Food Can I Grow?
The kit gives you seeds for a variety of food crops.
Your harvest depends on what you plant, your growing
space, the season, and the care your plants receive.
Start with crops your family enjoys and expand as you learn.
A productive garden can supplement your groceries, but seed
count alone doesn’t guarantee a specific amount of food
or a complete family food supply.
How Do I Store the Seeds?
Keep seeds cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight.
Keep packets sealed and protect them from moisture and heat.
A cool cupboard or drawer away from appliances can be suitable.
Storage life varies by crop and conditions. Label your packets
with the storage date, and test a small sample for germination
before relying on older seeds for planting.
Anyone can write “35 heirloom varieties.” Here is the actual
list, by cultivar. Four crops ship as more than one variety —
three lettuces, two tomatoes, two radishes, two beans —
which is how 30 crops become 35 packets.

"These are the seeds my grandmother used to grow."
For years I tried keeping my grandmother's garden going with seeds from the hardware store. They never worked the same way — things grew differently, tasted different, and I could never save seeds that actually reproduced. Then I found Everstead. First season, everything grew exactly the way I remembered from her garden. The tomatoes, the basil, the peppers — all of it. Second season, I replanted entirely from my own saved seeds and the results were just as strong. I actually got emotional the first time I harvested from seeds I saved myself. This is what real gardening is supposed to be. My grandmother would have loved this kit.

"Way better than anything I've bought at Home Depot."
I've wasted more money than I'd like to admit on seed kits from big box stores. Half the packets wouldn't germinate, the instructions were vague, and the varieties felt random — like they just threw whatever was cheapest into a bag. Everstead is completely different. You can tell this was put together by people who actually garden. The varieties make sense for everyday cooking, every packet is clearly labeled, and the germination rate has been outstanding. I've already saved seeds from my first harvest of tomatoes and cucumbers and I'm replanting this spring. This is the last seed kit I'll ever need to buy, and I mean that literally.

"We bought this for our whole family — and then bought more."
We run a small homestead in Kentucky and this kit has become a staple in our operation. All the classic vegetables are included — tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, kale, beans, squash — plus herbs and extras we normally forget to buy separately. The germination rate has been the best we've ever experienced with any seed kit, hands down. What sold us was the fact that every variety is open-pollinated. We saved seeds from our healthiest plants last season and replanted them this year with zero drop in quality. We've since bought three more kits — one for my parents, one for my sister's family, and one for long-term storage. This is how our grandparents did it, and it's how we're doing it now.

The part nobody explains
Why your saved seeds failed — and why it wasn't you.
Most seed sold through general retail is hybrid. That isn't
a scam — it's real plant breeding, bred for a strong uniform
first generation. In year one it performs.
Save the seed off that plant and sow it, though, and the
traits held together in the first generation come apart
in the second. Plants come up stunted, uneven, misshapen.
A good share never comes up at all. Growers call it
F2 breakdown — the segregation of traits
in the second filial generation. It's documented, expected
genetics, which is why hybrid seed is sold labelled “F1.”
A seed that comes back is a customer you sell once.
A seed that doesn't is a customer you sell every year.
Nobody had to conspire for this. The incentives did the rest.
Every variety in this kit is open-pollinated, so what you
save is what you sow.
Same sowing date. Left: open-pollinated seed, saved and
resown. Right: seed saved from a hybrid.

Hybrid seed is legitimate plant breeding and does its job
well in the first generation. The point isn't that hybrids
are bad — it's that they're the wrong tool for a household
that wants to stop buying seed.
A Little Clarity Before You Get Growing.
From your first planting to saving seeds for next season,
here’s what to know about your
Everstead Seed Vault Kit.
Can I grow these if I’ve never gardened before?
You can start with just a few varieties.
Choose foods your family enjoys and a growing space you
can comfortably care for. You don’t need to plant the
entire kit at once.
Planting directions on the back of each packet
help you follow the recommended depth, spacing, and timing.
Start small, check your plants regularly, and build your
confidence as you learn.
Will these varieties grow where I live?
The kit includes a mix of crops with different growing
needs. Choose varieties that suit your local
season, temperatures, and available sunlight.
Not every crop is suitable for every location or time
of year.
Follow the packet directions and your local planting
calendar. Your local gardening extension service can
help you identify the best planting dates for your area.
Can I grow these in containers or a small backyard?
You don’t need a large backyard to begin.
Many varieties can grow in suitable containers, raised
beds, or a small garden patch. A sunny patio or balcony
can work, too.
Choose containers with drainage and enough room for the
crop’s roots. Larger plants need more space, and some
need a trellis or other support.
What exactly comes inside each vault?
Each vault contains 35 individually labeled
heirloom seed packets, with approximately 16,000+
seeds in total. The selection includes vegetables,
herbs, and greens, with crops such as tomatoes, beans,
carrots, lettuce, peppers, and squash.
You can see the full variety list in the
“Exactly What’s in the Kit” section above.
Seed quantities vary by variety.
How long do the seeds last, and how should I store them?
Keep the seeds cool, dry, sealed, and out of
direct sunlight. Avoid places that become hot
or damp, such as a warm garage or a cupboard beside
an appliance.
Storage life varies by crop and conditions. Keep unused
packets sealed, reseal opened packets carefully, and
test a small sample for germination before relying on
seeds that have been stored for a long time.
Do I need to plant now, or can I save the kit for later?
You can buy now and plant when the season is
right. You don’t have to use every packet at once.
Store the remaining seeds properly until you’re ready.
If conditions allow, starting with a few varieties now
gives you a chance to learn your growing space and
practice before you need to depend on your garden.
How much food can I realistically grow?
Your harvest depends on what you plant, your
space, the season, soil, sunlight, water, and care.
The total seed count doesn’t translate into a guaranteed
number of meals.
A productive garden can supplement your groceries.
Start with foods your family enjoys, learn what grows
well in your area, and expand over time.
Can I save seeds from my harvest and grow them again?
Yes—open-pollinated heirloom varieties are suited
to seed saving. With proper pollination,
selection, and storage, saved seeds can grow true to
the original variety.
Seeds saved from F1 hybrids don’t reliably reproduce the
same traits. For your heirlooms, follow crop-specific
seed-saving instructions: some varieties need protection
from cross-pollination, and some crops take a second
growing season to produce seeds.
What if some seeds don’t sprout or I’m unhappy with my kit?
Germination timing and success vary by crop and growing
conditions. Check the recommended planting depth, soil
temperature, and moisture before assuming a seed has failed.
Your purchase comes with our 90-day 100%
money-back guarantee. If you’re unhappy with
your kit, contact Everstead within 90 days of receiving
your order to request a refund.

bundles. Standard shipping for orders below $70 is $5.99.
Estimated delivery is 7–12 days.
