From San Juan Bautista,
to the world.

Orsetti Seed Company was founded in Hollister, California in 1985. Primary research has been based in San Juan Bautista since the beginning — a facility designed to test varieties under real Central Coast conditions before they ship anywhere.

The catalog covers six commercial crop categories, with emphasis on hybrid varieties for processing and fresh markets: crops where uniformity, disease resistance, and maturity timing are non-negotiable. CCOF organic certification has been part of the program since founding — which means growers and processors needing organically produced seed can source it through the same supplier they already work with.

Today, Orsetti varieties reach growers and distributors internationally through an independent dealer network — the same commercial model the company was built on. The research team and the people who answer your technical questions are the same small group. Since 1985.

Being a focused, independent operation matters in practice. Variety questions get answered directly. Decisions get made without layers of approvals. When a grower or dealer needs a fast answer on availability or performance data, there is one call to make.
