What are heirloom pumpkin seeds?

Heirloom pumpkin seeds are open-pollinated varieties that have been passed down through generations. Unlike hybrids, you can save seeds from heirloom pumpkins and grow the same variety year after year. Most of our seeds are open-pollinated heirlooms, and we also carry a few F1 hybrids. All of our seeds are non-GMO.

What growing zone are your seeds tested in?

Our seeds are grown and germination-tested on our Zone 6b homestead in Newton, Kansas, and we source additional seed from trusted growers when we need to. Most of our varieties also perform well in Zones 5-9. Each product listing includes specific growing zone recommendations.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes! We offer free shipping on orders of $35 or more. Orders under $35 pay USPS calculated shipping. Seeds ship via USPS First Class, and coffee ships fresh within 48 hours of roasting.

What makes your coffee different?

Our coffee is roasted in small weekly batches, Prairie Blaze right here in Kansas, and every 8 oz bag is packed and shipped fresh from Newton. Available in Prairie Sunrise (light roast) and Prairie Blaze (bold medium roast), ground or whole bean.

Are your pumpkin seeds vine borer resistant?

Many of our Cucurbita moschata varieties are naturally resistant to squash vine borers, including Seminole Pumpkin, Long Island Cheese, Tromboncino, and Mrs. Amersons. We highlight vine borer resistance on each product page.

Prairie Coffee: Small-Batch Coffee from Newton, Kansas

Every good garden day starts the same way: a hot cup, a quiet minute, and the light coming up slow over flat Kansas fields. That is where Prairie Coffee began. Our coffee is roasted in small batches here in Kansas, then packed and shipped with the same care we put into our heirloom pumpkin seeds, because we believe the thing you drink first thing in the morning should be made with the same care as the food you grow.

Roasted small batch in Kansas, shipped fresh

We are not a warehouse and we are not a national chain. Our coffee is roasted in small weekly batches, then shipped within days of the roast. Coffee is at its best in the first few weeks after roasting, so the shorter the trip to your kitchen, the better the cup. Order by Wednesday and your bag typically ships by Friday of the same week, still close enough to the roast date to taste the difference.

Two roasts, two kinds of mornings

Prairie Sunrise is our light roast, roasted in small batches in Kansas: smooth, balanced, and bright, with a soft honey-almond finish. It is the cup for slow mornings and easy drinking, approachable enough for the whole table.

Prairie Blaze is our bold medium roast, roasted in small batches by our Kansas roasting partner: full-bodied, a little smoky, and built for cold mornings and long work days. If you like your coffee with some backbone, this is your bag.

Cannot decide? The Prairie Coffee Sampler pairs both roasts so you can find your favorite, and it makes an easy gift for the coffee lover in your life. Every coffee comes as an 8 oz bag, available whole bean or ground.

Why Kansas coffee?

Kansas is not where coffee grows, but it is where we live and build something lasting. We source good green beans and work with a Kansas roaster we trust for our Kansas-roasted blends, which keeps the whole process close to home and honest. The same belief runs through everything we do here: good things take time, good soil, and good neighbors. Coffee is just the part of the morning you can enjoy before the sun is fully up.

Pair it with the patch

Many of our growers come for the heirloom seeds and stay for the coffee. If you want both, our seed and coffee bundles ship them together and save on shipping. Combining seeds and coffee in one order is the most cost-effective way to shop, and it is the closest thing we have to sending a piece of the prairie straight to your door.
