A Brief History of the Great Basin Seed Company:

Lloyd Stevens began hand-collecting native seed in 1959. Rangeland restoration and interest in seed collection were just beginning and as demand for native seed grew, he branched into wholesale and retail sales to meet the needs of State and Federal Governments, land agencies and the agricultrue industry. He incorporated with his brothers in 1974 as one of the first native seed companies in the country.

After graduating from Utah State University in 1997, Jason Stevens joined Lloyd and Richard Stevens, retired Wildlife & Plant Biologist for the Utah Division of Wildife Resources. They worked together until 2004 when Jason started Great Basin Seed. Lloyd and Richard now work as consultants for Great Basin Seed customers.

Great Basin Seed works with both public and private sectors to restore and maintain disturbed sites all over the western USA. We work closely with farmers and ranchers to bring new species, crops and growing methods to maximize seed and forage production. Our wildflower mixes beautify homes and landscapes all across the country.
