Our work blends agricultural grit, ecological purpose, and a long view: what we sow today, the generations of tomorrow will inherit.

Your First Year at Native American Seed
“Season by Season, Seed by Seed”
You arrive in late winter. The Llano River is low and clear, winding along the edge of the farm like a quiet welcome. This landscape doesn’t make introductions. It reveals itself slowly. The native seed farm spans 63 acres, and each row holds a different chapter of restoration. Around 70 species of wildflowers and prairie grasses are cultivated here—each one chosen not for convenience but for ecological consequence.
You won’t find shortcuts. You’ll find plows, four-row planters, and side-roll irrigation systems stretching thousands of feet. Compost tea brews in tanks near the stockpiles. You’ll learn that “organic” isn’t an aesthetic—it’s a way of thinking through problems. And you’ll discover that on this farm, sustainability is lived, not proclaimed.
Spring: Scouting the Bloom
As the wildflowers ignite across Texas, your work begins to migrate. You’ll scout from a small company plane, seeking fields in bloom. You’ll travel with our team; ground truthing, making handshake agreements with landowners, tracking weather, timing harvests. Seed waits for no one.
You’ll ride trucks and combines into remote corners of the state. You’ll learn how seeds mature with nuance: not all at once, but in subtle stages. The harvest follows the bloom from south to north, like an invisible river of restoration. Adaptability is necessary. The work is demanding, and that’s the point.
Summer: Machinery and Movement
Back at the farm, the rhythm shifts. Our industrial seed cleaning plant hums to life, 440 volts driving the sorting, sacking, sampling, and storage. You’ll see raw harvest become clean seed, destined for restoration projects across the Southwest and beyond.
Fulfillment isn’t just a department, it’s our promise to every customer. You’ll help manage inventory, monitor storage, and prepare shipments with care. The seed doesn’t end at harvest. It continues into catalog orders, website inquiries, and landowner dreams. You'll be part of that process, with every cleaned batch a new story is waiting.
Fall: Conservation in Practice
Just when the pace starts to settle, it picks up again. You’ll join the crew harvesting fall grasses from north to south. You’ll take part in restoration projects like the 1700-acre Georgetown site with karst caves, endangered salamanders, and migratory birds. And when flash floods reshape the Hill Country’s riverbanks, you might find yourself helping stabilize a riparian corridor, where native seed becomes the first step in healing land and water alike.
These aren't mere shipments. They're acts of ecological repair.
Winter: Planning, Purpose, Palapa
When the last combine quiets, the team turns inward. Repairs begin. Equipment is re-tuned. Catalogs get drafted. Ideas get tested. You’ll hear one question more than any other: “What is the good business reason?” That’s our filter for innovation, growth, and efficiency.
There’s downtime, too. Shared lunches, palapa gatherings, and the possibility of cooking farm-grown meals together. There’s talk of expanding The Hacienda for ecological retreats. You might contribute to a prescribed burn plan, help calibrate a native seed drill, or photograph pollinators along the riverbanks.
The work is serious. The camaraderie is real.
The Invitation
Your first year here won’t look like anyone else’s. You’ll be expected to grow—and be rewarded for initiative, accountability, and care. The team is small, tight-knit, and mission-driven. Reviews at 90 days help you find your rhythm. Wages reflect your contribution. Leadership and trust are earned.
If restoration lives in your bones—if clean rivers, native plants, and honest work call to you—this place might just feel like home.
