About us

In the heart of Florida, nestled among the rolling hills, lies Hancock Farm & Seed Company—a fourth-generation family-run operation that has seen Florida’s seasons change in ways both beautiful and unpredictable.

The Hancock Seed Story

The seed company was founded nearly a century ago by Harmon Townsend, a visionary farmer who, against all odds, managed to cultivate and preserve some of the state’s rarest and most resilient plant varieties.

Harmon’s great-grandson, Chris Hancock, now oversees the farm, and though times have changed, the legacy remains firmly rooted in a tradition of resilience and innovation.  Chris’ father, Richard Hancock, was the one who first experimented with developing “no-till” wildlife food plots and focused on custom harvesting warm season grasses and legumes all over the state.  Hancock Seed Co. has been constantly introducing innovative ideas and seed custom solutions for our customers since our founding.

The fourth-generation Hancock Farm & Seed Co. is a place of endless activity daily.  The mornings are always filled with the hum of machinery as workers tend to farming equipment, planting the heirloom seeds that have been preserved through generations. These seeds, passed down through the family’s meticulous care and preservation practices, are a mix of old-world varieties and cutting-edge hybrids, engineered to withstand the modern challenges of climate changes and soil depletion. 

The Hancock family is extremely thankful to have built such an amazing network of like-minded farmers supporting each other and growing seed sustainably around the globe.  To have the privilege to unite the agricultural community globally is an incredible honor to us.  We currently have a network of skilled family farmers in over 35 different countries meticulously producing and harvesting hundreds of different varieties of our seed. 

We all share the same quality standards, understanding and love of our land and a true commitment to community.  Our continued dream is that we have planted the seeds of change—one that would grow for generations to come.

”Your support and business mean the world to us. Thank you and God bless you."

Hosea 10:12

Seed Quality

Hancock Seed is dedicated to delivering the best seeds possible to our customers. Hancock Seed grows and harvests many of our products, and we acquire the majority of the rest from other family farmers. All these seeds are processed, packaged and shipped from Hancock Farm. This helps us ensure that our high standards are met. Unlike much of the competition, we refuse to sell you a seed that was not gathered during the last harvest. You will always receive fresh product from Hancock.


Every seed we grow comes with 40 years of experience behind it...you can rest assured that all of our products are cultivated in a method that assures its potential for growth.
