GREENE – Page’s Seed’s newest division will bring the company back to its agricultural roots as well as introduce two programs designed to assist non profit organizations.

The 112-year-old company, located in the Village of Greene, recently launched Page’s Ag and Farm Division. The division will provide direct-to-the-farm sales of pasture and forage grasses, crop seed, accessories and enhancements.

When it was founded in 1896, Page’s Seed served a rural, farming customer base. It was among the first in upstate New York to mobilize its sales force in a small fleet of Model T Fords. Mobility expanded the geographic reaches of the company’s seed sales. Gradually, contact with the farming community was replaced by national retail seed sales.

Now, with the Ag and Farm Division, the company will re-establish those direct ties with farmers.
