Emorsgate Wild Seed History
Emorsgate Seeds, established in 1980 by Donald MacIntyre, is a family enterprise and the largest producer of wild flower seeds and wild seed mixes in the British Isles, cultivating over 800 acres. Originating from seed collection in London’s East End, it was inspired by Dr. Terry Wells’ work on wild grassland creation. The business name hails from Terrington St Clement in Norfolk, the location of their inaugural wild seed crop.
Emorsgate merges ecological science with sustainable agriculture, maintaining farms in Somerset and Norfolk. They offer a vast variety of over 250 wild flower and grass seeds native to the British Isles, aiding in the creation of around 2,500 acres of wild flower-rich habitats annually. Donald, with the support of the succeeding MacIntyre generation and a dedicated team, heads the business. Besides seed production, they engage in research, provide expert advice, and pioneered the meadow brush harvester in 1986, a nature-conserving seed collection tool.
