I buy High Mowing Seeds because they are nearby and I trust the plants will do well in Northern Vermont (as long as I do my part)

https://www.highmowingseeds.com/

Johnny's is good also... http://www.johnnyseeds.com/

https://www.victoryseeds.com/

many factors, and seeds are so expensive... I have bought less expensive seeds from companies such as Gurney's, Burgess, Burpee and/or Park and considering everything, if I can afford them, I go better quality

**just started a few tomatoes and lettuce... I am going to try a few hydroponics this year ....also set up a couple of grow lights and starting a design for a small greenhouse... pretty excited to get things started

best of luck to you
