Orsetti Seeds

Vegetable Seed Supplier — Salinas, CA

Orsetti Seed Company supplies commercial hybrid vegetable seeds to growers and distributors throughout Monterey County.

Orsetti Seed Company supplies commercial hybrid vegetable seeds to growers and distributors throughout Monterey County. Our San Juan Bautista research facility — 20 minutes from Salinas — allows us to trial varieties under the same coastal conditions your crops face before they reach commercial production.

Monterey County's cool coastal climate and marine layer conditions create specific disease pressure and maturity timing constraints. BRAVADO's documented downey mildew tolerance is particularly relevant for coastal Salinas Valley production. Processing tomato buyers look to Central Valley for volume, but the County also supports a wide range of cole crops where timing and disease resistance are the deciding variables.
