Growing the SeeD

"About Us"

In 1981, when Patty Johnson began growing herbs in a flower bed, little did she know that one day Patty’s Herbs would become the leading grower and supplier of fresh cut culinary herbs in Texas.  Patty began knocking on doors, delivering fresh herbs to restaurants in Styrofoam ice chests in the San Antonio area.  Over time, her customers grew to include produce distributors, institutional food service companies and retail grocers.   Today Patty’s Herbs products are available throughout much of Texas.

Patty’s Herbs is located in Pearsall, Texas, about an hour south of San Antonio.  This region is known for its fertile soil, and other vegetable crops such as corn, cabbage, potatoes, spinach and onions are grown locally.   Fresh herbs grown and distributed by Patty’s Herbs include basil, mint, dill, chives, rosemary, thyme, epazote, oregano, sage, marjoram, bay leaves, Italian parsley, lemon grass and edible flowers.  In addition to conventionally grown herbs, Patty’s Herbs also packs and distributes an organic line of fresh herbs.  

Food safety is of great importance to Patty’s Herbs.  Employee training is conducted at regular intervals and annual food safety audits are conducted by Primus Labs, with the results made available to Patty’s Herbs customers.
