Company Profile

    In the early seventies Angelo Berton visited Italy on several occasions
    and each time returned to Canada with some seed packages to plant
    in his garden. The varieties that he brought back with him were
    varieties that he could not find in Canada. Varieties that gave him
    exceptional results.

    By 1977 he came to the conclusion that he was probably not the only one
    longing for some of the vegetables from his homeland. He began importing
    those same varieties that consisted of chicories, lettuces, herbs,
    tomatoes, eggplants and peppers and decided to sell them under the
    name Berton Seeds.

    He began distributing his seed packages to small grocery stores in the
    Italian areas of Toronto. Over time, as demand increased, he expanded
    to some of the larger retailers across Ontario.
    Today, 25 years later, Berton Seeds Company can be found in Canadian
    retailers located in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. We carry
    over 150 varieties of gardening seeds, 90% of which still originate from
    Italy.
