About the Brand

Seeds of Change is an American organic seed and organic food brand owned by Mars, Incorporated. Founded in 1989 and self-described as the country’s first 100% organic seed company, it has more than 30 years of history serving U.S. gardeners and consumers through both retail and its direct-to-consumer e-commerce site. Beyond its seed catalog, the brand has expanded into ready-to-heat organic rice, quinoa, whole grain, and plant-protein bowls, positioning itself as a one-stop shop from seed to plate.

Mission and Product Lines

Its mission—”we’ve made it easy to eat organic”—drives a portfolio in which every seed is USDA certified organic, 100% non-GMO, and treated without neonicotinoids, making the seeds safe for bees and other pollinators. The food line spans organic jasmine and basmati rice, Spanish-style rice, quinoa blends, chia, flaxseed, kale, garlic, basil, and shelf-stable protein bowls, all built around whole grains, plant protein, and minimal processing.

Sourcing and Sustainable Agriculture

Seeds of Change works with a select group of U.S. organic growers and long-standing international partnerships, including women’s cooperatives in Bolivia that supply quinoa and other heritage grains. The brand’s growing standards prohibit synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering, and the company supports biodiversity both in the field and in home gardens by encouraging seed saving and shared harvests.

Education, Recipes, and Community

The brand’s Gardening Center offers articles, videos, and a glossary covering site selection, soil preparation, indoor seed starting, transplanting, succession planting, composting, and harvest. It also publishes more than 70 recipes built around the “3-plants-a-day” idea, in partnership with community projects such as The Edible Gardens at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, helping to position Seeds of Change as a recognized voice in the U.S. organic food and home gardening movement.
