In 1956, Paul Ekstein founded Quality Seeds. Having immigrated from Europe in 1939, Paul drove every laneway, building trust with those he sold to. Now, one of Canada’s largest independently owned seed companies, Quality Seeds operates off of the same philosophy that started it all: People buy from People. 

In the last 25 years, the company's major growth and innovation has been with Paul's son, Ari at the helm. Working with the best forage and turf breeding companies in the world, Quality established a proprietary lineup of forage and turf seeds to service the needs of those in the turf and agricultural markets across the nation.
