From its early beginnings on a family farm in Spring Grove, Minnesota, Shooting Star Native Seeds has grown into a full-service native seed facility. This 30+ year-old company now has over 2,500 acres of native grasses, wildflowers, sedges, and rushes in production from seed sources throughout the Midwest. This tour will bring you into the heart of Shooting Star’s Spring Grove, Minnesota operations – you’ll see commercial production fields in bloom, the seed cleaning facility, and warehouse operations. You’ll hear about Shooting Star’s rich history and learn how this native seed helps to restore tens of thousands of acres of native prairies and wetlands in commercial, municipal, and private projects across the Midwest each year.
