Shaker Seed Company

The Shaker Seed Company was an American seed company that was owned and operated by the Shakers in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. In the latter part of the eighteenth century, many Shaker communities produced several vegetable seed varieties for sale. The company created innovations in the marketing of seeds including distributing, packaging and cataloging all of which changed the horticultural business model forever.
The Mount Lebanon Shaker Village in New Lebanon, New York, was the most fruitful and the first to indicate Shaker Seed Company in advertising. As its stationery reveals, the company adopted the phrase "''Experto crede''" as its motto, noting its establishment in 1794.
== Background ==
Author Mary Whitcher explains that in the middle of the eighteenth century some members of the Society of Quakers united in a branch under James and Jane Warley. Eight of these left England and went to American, they arrived in New York in August of 1774. In the Fall of 1776 they settled in Watervliet, New York. This was the first organized and recognized group of Shakers and it was established in New Lebanon, New York around 1787. Of as 1882 there were sixteen other branches of the Shakers.
The Shakers were avid gardeners who saved the best seeds to cultivate the following year. Historian D.A. Buckingham states that Joseph Turner of Watervliet assigned about two acres of land in 1790 for the purpose of raising vegetable seeds to sell for an income. He is the first known recorded Shaker to package seeds for sale, making him the first American seed salesman. The Watervliet Shakers were the first people in the United States to sell garden seeds commercially. About this same time the Shaker community at New Lebanon began selling their surplus seeds for an income. However, it was not until 1795 that they set aside land for the purpose of seed production for sale to outsiders.
