Since 1970, Dave Christensen of Big Timber, Montana (Seed We Need®) has been continuously developing and refining these amazingly diverse corn varieties. He has made it his life's work. We purchase our seed stock directly from Dave so by purchasing these seeds for your own garden, you are not only helping to support the seed variety preservation work of the Victory Seed Company, you are directly supporting another small, seed preservationist.
He started by rescuing about one-hundred Native American heirloom corn varieties. These corns had survived for centuries, under the most extreme environmental challenges, from cold springs to summer drought. These genetics result in the extreme hardiness of his corn.
The seed we sell is produced by its developer (Dave Christensen).
Dave's corn can be planted earlier than other corn varieties due to their extreme hardiness. Click here for additional information and special planting instructions for Dave's corn
