Orsetti Seeds

Vegetable Seed Supplier — Yuma, AZ

Yuma County produces more fresh vegetables in winter than any other region in the country.

Yuma County produces more fresh vegetables in winter than any other region in the country. Orsetti Seed Company supplies commercial hybrid vegetable seeds to growers and operations throughout the Yuma area — varieties trialed globally and tested for real-world production conditions, not controlled greenhouse environments.

Yuma's desert production window runs October through March, with heat buildup in late spring that terminates most cole crop seasons. BRAVADO broccoli's maturity profile — approximately 105 days from direct seeding — fits the Yuma window when planted October through January. Pepper varieties BOS 425 and the GEM cascabella types perform in the low-humidity, high-heat conditions of desert harvest.
