Aina Ola Seed Company

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

Does anyone know if Aina Ola Seed Company is still in business?  The usual stores that carry their packets are either out of stock or only have last year’s leftovers.

I didn’t find a website so no way to order directly.

HOTPE:

I've never dealt with Aina Ola Seed Company, but I have used this Hawaii online seed company and have had fantastic results every time - tomatoes - lettuce - peppers, etc.

Hawaii Seed Growers Network: Growing locally-adapted seed for Hawaii

I don't know if you ever saw the movie Secondhand Lions, but every time I plant seeds, I am reminded of a certain scene in that movie!

If you know you know! If not, it's a great movie to watch!

Good luck planting!

Iʻve had mixed results with HSGN. Germination rates are inconsistent.

The guy that does the stocking for Aina Ola, around BI, also works a couple of days a week at Luquins. Matt I think?  As of a couple of months ago he was still stocking.

Hawaii Seed Growers Network is definitely worth supporting. With each generation, seeds become more adapted to our local climates. The work they do could literally save us someday. Save seeds. Share seeds.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.  There are several seed varieties that Aina Ola carries that have always worked best for me, so I still hope to find some 2024 packets, I’ll keep looking.  If anyone spots a store with a full seed rack please let me know.
