MEET THE OWNERS
We were thrilled to reconnect with many of our customers in the fields or in meetings throughout the past year. In our industry, nothing beats taking the time to view our products in the fields and gardens across the country. The discussions challenge our team to pursue finding more great products for your operation which has led us to the products we have available to offer to you within our product offering. After viewing our product offering, please reach out to one of our team members if you have any questions, sample requests, or orders. The standout varieties for me this year from trials were Vivaldi Eggplant, Passport Green Bean (offered in both organic and conventional), and Halloween Gold F1 Pumpkin Peppers.
We continue to look for more ways to be a beneficial partner to you. If you have any custom production needs for your operation, please consider Pure Line for these needs.
We look forward to seeing you out in the field this year.
Your Family-Owned and Independent Seed Company,
Ethan Rosen
President

HISTORY
Founded in 1948, Pure Line Seeds, a small company situated in the Columbia River Plateau outside of Moscow, Idaho was known for producing and developing pea varieties for the processing market.
When demand for our peas increased so did the physical location of production, milling, and warehousing, moving to the heart of the Columbia Basin – Warden Washington.
PURE LINE MEANING
Our definition of “pure line” is the pure and uniform results of our natural breeding methods.
Did you know that Pure Line is not just part of our name but that it is actually a theory called “Pure Line Selection Theory.” The concept of pure line dates back to ancient times but was first proposed by Johannsen from his studies on beans variety Princess. Here he studied nineteen lines where he concluded that the lot of the beans is a mixture of pure lines. Read more about Johansen and the Pure Line Theory:

Our team utilizes a network of professional seed growers in the Pacific Northwest’s Columbia River Basin- the country’s premier seed growing region- to produce high-quality seed. Attentive care throughout the season means we’re able to offer open varieties and our own proprietary material at a higher standard.
“Induce variation and make selection” – this is the principle of plant breeding on which Pure Line Seed’s breeding program stands today. We use traditional, non-GMO practices to induce variation followed by intensive selection processes in the field and in various places.
Our primary focus is to provide a healthy environment for our seed crop so that it provides us with healthy seed. The research and production teams work together every year to maintain clean seed lots, free of off-types. Our commitment to high quality seed has encouraged us to produce WSDA certified organic seed of our best performing varieties.
Pure Line Seeds has maintained a foundation of strong business relationships built on trust, reliability, quality products, and flexibility. Whether it’s providing interpersonal connections or competitive varieties, we strive to go the extra mile in meeting the needs of our customers.
