Social Media & Content Associate – Amazon Store

About our Company

The Hudson Valley Seed Company provides gardeners and farmers with a robust catalog of over 400 varieties of open-pollinated seeds, along with tubers, bulbs, tools, supplies, and art work. Because we offer unique varieties that we cannot source from suppliers, we produce many of these seeds in our own certified organic fields in beautiful Accord, NY. We celebrate the uniqueness of the varieties in our catalog by commissioning artwork for each of our Art Packs—one-of-a-kind folding seed packets, each designed by a different artist and telling the unique story of that seed.

About our Team

We are a team of 25-30 hard-working farmers and office workers collaborating to provide a compelling and life-affirming product to the world. We value commitment, diversity, communication, and kindness. The diverse life experiences that our team members bring to our workplace make us stronger.
