SHOOTING STAR NATIVE SEEDS INC

Shooting Star Native Seeds Inc. specializes in the production and supply of native prairie grasses, forbs, and pollinator-friendly seed mixes for ecological restoration and land management. The company leverages deep expertise in native plant propagation, seed harvesting, and ecological seeding techniques to support habitat rehabilitation, erosion control, and biodiversity enhancement on federal lands. Their technical capabilities include developing site-specific seed blends tailored to regional ecoregions, ensuring genetic integrity and adaptive resilience in restored plant communities. They are particularly adept at sourcing and scaling native species such as little blue stem and anemone canadensis, with proven experience in establishing complex forb-grass mixes for military training areas, wildlife refuges, and conservation corridors. The contractor maintains strong, recurring relationships with the Department of Defense, where they supply native seed for land stabilization and ecological resilience on active military installations, and the Department of the Interior, supporting National Wildlife Refuge and public land restoration initiatives. They also serve the Department of Agriculture on projects tied to tallgrass prairie conservation, demonstrating consistent alignment with federal land stewardship priorities. Their primary focus lies in NAICS 111998 (All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming), reflecting their role as a producer of non-traditional, ecologically valuable crops—native seeds—rather than conventional agricultural commodities. This positions them as a niche supplier within the ecological restoration market, serving federal agencies committed to native plant recovery and sustainable land use. Shooting Star Native Seeds Inc. is a small, privately held entity based in Spring Grove, Minnesota, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic presence in the Upper Midwest positions them as a regional leader in prairie seed production, supplying ecologically appropriate germplasm to agencies managing Great Plains and Midwestern ecosystems. They operate as a specialized, mission-driven supplier within the federal conservation supply chain.
