Welcome to Mrs. David's Garden Seeds® where we will learn about gardening, farming, and homesteading together.
Hi! I'm Mrs Davids Garden Seeds®. My name is Juanita and I have been married to David of David's Garden Seeds® for a grand total so far of 37 years (as of April 2024). When we had our first real seed store back in 2010, David's office was right next to the seed showroom so David was involved in helping our customers. The company has grown a lot since then. I run the retail store now as well as making sure orders are fulfilled. David is out in the back forty or in a different building, running our company. He no longer has the time to spend answering gardening questions so I do that.
At first, customers would ask me who I was, wondering if I had any qualifications to help them or if I were just a salesgirl making minimum wage. One day, a gentleman was asking me the same questions over and over again in our showroom about gardening. I was trying to be kind and patient, but he was making it tough to do. Finally, he came out and asked me who I was that he should listen to my recommendations. I told him, "I'm Mrs Davids Garden Seeds®." He accepted that and since then, the name has stuck.
Yes, I still tell people that today. I also write the bulk of both websites and do whatever else it takes to keep our seed business going. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I do social media. I raise chickens so we can provide farm fresh eggs for our customers. I count and pack seeds when there is no one else to do it. I help with personnel problems, grow plants, feed our animals and a whole lot more. Matt, our son, helps us out with a lot of the business as well.
Hi Everyone! Thank you for visiting my website! I am Mrs. David's Garden Seeds® and I think you should know that there is a wonderful seed company in the great state of Texas called David's Garden Seeds®. We have been in business for over 15 years now.
Our business started in our home in San Antonio in September of 2009. By 2015, we had eight employees working in my home every day. David found a storefront in San Antonio and moved the business there. We grew and David moved to a bigger storefront in 2017. In 2019, we found a beautiful farm out in Rossville, Texas, where we live today. David and I moved our home out here in August of 2019. We love farm life, although it has been a lot of work.
In 2020, we moved our company out to the farm. We have a beautiful farm store filled with seeds, plants, Texas rice with no chemicals, Texas pecan coffee, pecan treats, shelled pecans, germination tray kits, and more, as well as a gazebo and pond combo filled with koi and goldfish for you to visit. We have a working farm for you to tour in nice weather. Come by and visit us at 5029 FM 2504 in Rossville, Texas, near Poteet. Or you can order seeds online from our user-friendly website, www.davidsgardenseeds.com.
For 20 years, from 1999 through 2019, David and I lived in San Antonio, Texas. We raised our family there. All of our children left home a long time ago...Now we are empty nesters, running a farm and seed business.
Five years ago, in July of 2019, we bought the farm outside of Poteet and moved here. In July of 2020, we moved our business to the farm. We have a bunch of animals--dogs, a cat, about 50 chickens, rabbits, koi and goldfish, beehives, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
More than 15 years ago (2009), David founded David's Garden Seeds®. I have been a part of the team since the beginning, writing the company website, doing social media, and helping David when I got home from work with whatever needed to be done, all while I worked a full time corporate job.
On February 29, 2016, I quit my day job and started working at David's Garden Seeds® full time. I have never regretted that decision. We have a great team.
One thing that we talked about for years was getting some land so we could grow more of our own seeds to sell and plant a lot more in our garden. It is hard to have a big garden when you live in a subdivision in a city with a small lot. Now we have eight acres to grow on.
A few weeks ago (June of 2019), we found a beautiful piece of farmland outside of the city and we now have a land contract. We are ready to purchase a small farm and move to the country. The business will eventually make the move as well but first, we have to move there and get it all ready for the business. The only things there right now are sandy soil, wildflowers, weeds with stickers, and lots of bugs and snakes.
David and I bought tall rubber boots and walked the property yesterday. Once the weeds are cut, it will be very nice, but yesterday it was hard keeping stickers off of us. It took us 40 minutes to break through the jungle and go all the way to the top and back.
It will be quite a journey as we move out of the city and turn four acres of sandy soil into a home/farm/business. I will keep you posted. Follow along, won't you?
You can pick up from here to see what we did each day we have been on the farm.
