Recognizing the needs of other farmers in the area, Bob and Diane Devolder established Devolder Farms Seeds in 1988.

Devolder Farms has been a registered company with the International Standards Organization since 2005.

These standards are regulated under the ISO Quality Management System and the Canadian Seed Institute Quality Management System Scope.

In addition to growing the higher pedigreed seed in their fields, Devolder Farms also grows experimental varieties and maintains select plots. Devolder Farms consistently processes and packages seed that meets the quality standards of purity, germination, appearance and regulatory requirements for our customers.
