As a small family operation, we can do what the big guys can't: hand-select every variety, personally check quality, and personally answer every question you have. Your garden isn't just another transaction to us.
Our Story
Our roots trace back to 1909, when Victor H. Dunton established a farm in Oregon to support his family and serve his local community. Building on their ancestor's legacy, Mike and Denise Dunton founded Victory Seed Company in 1998 on Victor's farm.
In 2022, the Whitinger family in Texas took the reins, continuing Victory's mission as an independent, family-owned operation dedicated to protecting threatened seed varieties from extinction. We preserve cherished family heirlooms and rare old commercial releases, develop and release our own varieties, and yes - we even carry select hybrid seeds for gardeners who prefer them.
Our focus is simple: cultivar accuracy, exceptional seed quality, responsive customer support, and keeping these vegetable, herb, and flower seeds available to home gardeners like you. Your purchases directly fund our preservation work and allow us to donate thousands of dollars worth of seeds annually to charitable organizations for their outreach and educational programs.
Why Victory Seeds?
Climate-Controlled Storage
Your seeds are stored in our climate-controlled facility - not sitting on warehouse shelves or garden center racks.
Year-Round Quality Control
We receive fresh seed shipments throughout the growing season and maintain strict storage protocols to keep every variety at peak viability.
Trusted Grower Network
We source from a carefully selected network of growers, not just the mainstream seed industry.
Quality Checked
Every seed lot is personally checked before it ships to you.

They're perfect for smaller gardens or growing tomatoes in the winter with a grow light in my closet (velvet night is my favorite dwarf tomato so far, mars hydro lights).

Their communication is great. Above all, they carry an extensive selection of Dwarf and Epic Tomato seeds. It's always hard to limit myself to a "reasonable" amount to try each season!

I was especially impressed with the unique and hard-to-find varieties they offer — it's a treasure trove for any passionate gardener. The germination rate has been excellent, and my tomatoes are growing strong and healthy. It's clear the seeds are high quality. I'll definitely be ordering again and recommending them to fellow gardeners. Thank you so much, Irina.

Their seed is packed well and has always been true to type for me, which is something I can't say about a lot of other seed companies I've used. Delivery is prompt and accurate and they are a pleasure to deal with. Their website is fast and easy, too.

The online catalog has good descriptions and also adds in a bit of history for each seed that I find interesting. Ordering is easy and seeds arrive promptly.

I have ordered from some other companies where none of their seeds grew, indicating that they probably stored them too hot or in some other way didn't handle them well, but Victory Seeds appear to be well stored and well handled, and they have always grown for me. They also usually have the varieties that I want. I tend to prefer some fairly rare varieties of veggies, like Opalka and Bisignano paste tomatoes, which are hard to find, but Victory usually has what I need. In addition, they ship quickly, and don't waste money on unneeded packaging when I'm only getting a handful of packets.

Heard from the other one once and no seeds yet. Heard from Victory several time, and the seeds are here. I like this company for their good service and good products. I am a new fan of the dwarf tomatoes. They produced through the Texas heat just fine last summer. Keep up the good work, VSC!

Been buying seeds from Victory Seeds for years, and I'll never shop anywhere else for garden seeds...Been buying seeds from Victory Seeds for years, and I'll never shop anywhere else for garden seeds. I've never gotten a dud packet, everything always grows beautifully. They have my continued business for that reason, and also because they offer many native and otherwise hard-to-find varieties which I prefer to grow. For tobacco growers, Victory is a fantastic choice for seeds as well. Buy local, support American farms and jobs, buy from Victory! You surely shan't regret it.
