We Turn Science Into Growth

Step into our green world, where innovation and sustainability intertwine, unlocking endless possibilities for seeds

SEEDS & SCIENCE BY DESIGN

Founded in 1906 by Danish grass seed farmers, we’ve quietly grown our business in North America by attracting and bonding with those who share our common, century-old belief; the best crop results begin with the best seed.  

Developing, producing and distributing higher-quality seed is an endless pursuit embraced by everyone who works for, or with DLF. It’s a unifying purpose which transcends geography and connects our people, brands and businesses across North America and beyond.
