History

Twilley Seed Company was founded in the early 1900s by seedsman Otis S. Twilley. The original goal was to provide better vegetable seeds for farmers to grow. Over the decades the business remained focused on serving growers rather than home gardeners, building a catalog of vegetable, herb, gourd and flower varieties selected for commercial performance. The company is now run by third-generation seedsman George Park, whose family stewardship continues the founding purpose. Mr. Park and his wife Barbara have a combined experience of over 60 years in the seed business, and the core staff averages 20 years of experience apiece. The company is headquartered in Hodges, South Carolina, where it has operated for more than two decades; a company-noted article from November 26, 2018 celebrated 20 years in Hodges. Twilley Seed continues to publish an annual catalog, with the 2026 edition available for request and download, and ships seed to farmers and growers throughout the United States and selected international markets.
