Welcome
to Dunton Family Farms' web site. Established in 1909, we
have been online since 1996.
Our
mission is to hold on to what we can of our agrarian past
while gently moving forward into the future.
We simply believe that we are stewards of this land and
therefore nurture it accordingly. It has reciprocated by
sustaining five generations of our family - three of which are
still actively working here.
We
have farmed using organic and sustainable practices since it was
a still a grassroots movement in the 1980s. To keep with these
roots, we chose to become
Certified Naturally Grown
in 2006 instead of pursuing certification under the USDA's
National Organic Program. To learn more and our thoughts
on this subject, please

Our mission is to search out, grow, document, and preserve rare,
endangered, heirloom seeds.
From our farm, we founded the
Victory Seed Company
as the conduit for keeping these seeds available to gardeners
all over the world.
