Peppers of the World

Sandia Seed Company owner Patsy in her Garden

Here at Sandia Seed Company we love our green chile and are proud to offer the best selection New Mexican chile seeds in the world. In 2008, we were founded on the idea that seeds for green chile peppers should be available for everyone. So, during the past 15 years, we have grown from our original six green chile seed choices to now over twenty peppers from New Mexico. Our complete Seed Catalog has a total over 100 specialty pepper seeds from around the world, 59 heirloom tomato seeds, and seeds for 42+ garden vegetable seeds.

Sandia Seed is part of a sustainable movement to change the way the world buys seeds. We offer heirloom open-pollinated seed varieties that are not readily available from large seed companies.

Today’s gardeners can grow them and keep their unique genetic makeup viable for future generations. When growing open-pollinated peppers and tomatoes, keep the seeds from your favorites to grow again next year. Seeds are smart and will continue to adapt to your environment over the seasons.

Our founder Patsy Coles started Sandia Seed Company to offer a better variety of pepper seeds for home gardeners. Her passion has always been gardening, and she graduated from Arizona State University with a Master's degree in Horticulture – vegetable gardening while in the Phoenix heat was a challenge! It hasn't always been easy, and we've learned a lot about water harvesting, drip irrigation and composting along the way.

Prepare to be inspired!

Inside our Seed Catalog you will find peppers varying in size, shape, and pungency to fill your garden with color and flavor! Choices include heirloom, open-pollinated, and all are untreated and non-GMO seeds.

Our seeds have proved to be quite popular and our business is quickly expanding. We continue to add more and more varieties each year. In addition to the seed packets, we also sell bulk seeds.

Safe Seed Pledge

We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners, and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families, or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately people and communities.
