ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN SEED FARM.
We look forward to sharing our 250-acre property during your stay. Native American Seed is a family-owned business founded in 1989 by Jan and Bill Neiman. It was born in a space we created out behind the barn on our little 7-acre patch of prairie remnant in Argyle, TX. The business of locating, harvesting and selling native wildflower and grass seeds came to us not as an ideology or abstract idea but out of years of experience in landscape construction and the nursery business. That's a story in itself, and you can read all about it on a page called What We're About.
We moved to the outskirts of the Texas Hill Country in the summer of 1995, where we found a beautiful place on the Llano River just outside the town of Junction. For those of you who enjoy learning about what really "makes things tick," we've described the whole process from start to finish on a page called From the Field to You.
What makes us different from many other wildflower seed companies is our commitment to offering superior customer service, and only those plants that are native to our bioregion. You won't find African daisies, bluebonnets grown in India, or even California poppies in any of our mixes. Not because we don't think they're pretty - they are! But because we understand that every ecosystem is a delicate web of relationships that have evolved over centuries. And humans, with all their power of creativity and imagination, must respect the wisdom of those centuries before entering into the processes of nature as active participants. To illustrate that understanding, we've written a little story called What is a native, anyway?
