About Us
Your Partner In Growth
Tending to a piece of land, whether a vast field, a city block, or a front yard, is an ongoing struggle – a relentless pursuit of progress despite the unpredictability of nature. It is a labour of love, requiring unwavering dedication, endurance, and a deep understanding of the intricate balance between soil, plants, and the environment. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities as you work tirelessly to nurture the land, coaxing it into vibrant, flourishing growth. Quality Seeds has crafted its mission around these very challenges.
We understand the gap between the lush landscapes you envision and the realities of unyielding soil or unpredictable climates. That’s why we’ve woven our passion for seeds into solutions that address these hurdles head-on, transforming them into opportunities for growth and beauty. Here, the quality of every seed matches your potential to create, enhance, and thrive.

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
In 1956, a European immigrant named Paul Ekstein established Quality Seeds. With determination and a belief in the power of personal connections, Paul laid the foundation of our company, driving down every laneway and building trust and relationships. This “people buy from people” philosophy continues to be the core of Quality Seeds, now one of Canada’s largest independently owned seed companies.
Innovation and Growth
A Family Legacy
Over the past 25 years, under the leadership of Paul’s son, Ari, Quality Seeds has seen significant growth and innovation. Partnering with the world’s best forage and turf breeding companies, we have established a proprietary lineup of forage and turf seeds, catering to the diverse needs of the turf and agricultural markets nationwide.
Expanding Horizons
Erosion Control and Beyond
In 2008, Ari expanded our reach by acquiring Mulchit Inc., a well-established erosion control company based in Putnam, Ontario. This acquisition granted us access to Profile, a central hydraulic mulch manufacturer, and distribution rights across Canada. In the past 15 years, Quality Seeds has evolved into a significant supplier of Native and Naturalization mixes, now stocking over 350 different species to adeptly service this complex market.
