Agrecol Corporation, founded in 1991, combines the best principles of production agriculture with the science of ecology to produce high quality native seed and plants.

Historically, Agrecol was an agricultural research and development firm. In 1995, the company focused its attention and resources on the production of native plant species. Agrecol's native plant species are grown from remnant foundation collections gathered primarily in southeastern Wisconsin.
