AVSeeds

Do you know what the "AV" in AVSeeds stands for? If not, let us re-introduce ourselves! It’s a nod to our roots in Rocky Ford, Colorado and what Bob Appleman named the company after in 1945: the beautiful Arkansas River Valley. Another fun fact: Bob's leadership also brought our iconic Rabbit Ears? logo to life—symbolizing quality and value and inspired by the scenic Rabbit Ears Pass near Steamboat Springs. With an incredible backdrop of natural landscapes, vibrant ecosystems, and unforgettable sunsets, it’s no wonder Bob found endless inspiration in his Colorado locale! To this day, we’re proud to continue delivering high-quality seeds and versatile mixing services.
