Meet Elsoms Seeds at Great Lakes Expo 2026

Elsoms Seeds will be at the Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable and Farm Market EXPO in Grand Rapids, Michigan, from 8–10 December 2026. Meet our team to explore our vegetable seed portfolio, including our expanded pumpkin and squash range, and talk about the varieties and support available to growers through our US dealer network.

Building on the HSC pumpkin portfolio

Elsoms has acquired the Halloween pumpkin portfolio previously owned by Hybrid Seed Company (HSC). The range brings established varieties to growers and distributors, and gives Elsoms a strong foundation to build on.
