 Seedway
marks its 45th anniversary in 2008, celebrating continued growth
and over four decades of seed and service to Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic growers. Founded in 1963 in Hall, NY, Seedway has
grown to become one of the largest seed companies in the eastern
United States.
Among the few full-line seed companies remaining in the
industry, Seedway maintains a traditional approach with quality
products and outstanding customer service while incorporating
the latest seed innovations and technologies. Seedway markets
farm, turf and vegetable seed to commercial growers, including
unique seed products for specialty purposes and organically
produced seed.
Seedway’s origins began in 1923 with the formation of Robson
Seed Farms, a mail order vegetable and flower seed business in
Hall, NY. In the 1930’s a second business began operation,
Robson Quality Seeds, serving as the marketing arm of Robson
Seed Farms. In 1963, Carl Fribolin of Geneva, NY, purchased
Robson Quality Seeds and the foundation for Seedway was laid,
with the name officially changing in 1971.
In September Seedway will host over 100 dealers and guests for
its 45th Annual Kickoff Meeting to mark the Company’s
anniversary and launch the fall sales season. Other
commemorative activities will take place throughout the year at
company locations.
