Ozark Native Seed sprouted in 2022, when our team recognized a need for access to quality native seed and information to create healthy, sustainable landscapes.

The ONS team understands that there is no one solution that fits every land steward when integrating natives into their landscape. Whether the goal is pasture, prairie, or restoration, ONS is here to provide high quality seed and reliable information to fit your needs

Vision Statement

We envision a future where land stewards create sustainable, thriving landscapes that meet their needs while promoting biodiversity and the integration of native species.

Gatlin & Madison Bunton

Gatlin & Madison Bunton live south of Rolla on their farm and split their time between it and his family farm in Edgar Springs. Both are managed exclusively for native plant seed production. Gatlin has had a lifelong interest in the botanical history of the Ozarks and has been involved in restoration work and seed collection since 2008.

Gatlin oversees the seed production fields, seed cleaning and mixes customer orders. He provides input on plant placement and mix diversity.

Joe & Rachel Hopkins


Joe & Rachel Hopkins reside in Davisville with their two children on the family farm, which lies on the Huzzah Creek. The farm has seed production fields and also raises cattle, which graze extensively on native pastures. They discovered the wonderful benefits of natives through grazing and seeing improved livestock performance along with improved wildlife habitat.

Rachel manages customer orders, order fulfillment and general company outreach. She also helps with seed production, processing and cleaning.
