ABOUT BENTLEY SEEDS

Bentley Seeds began operations in 1975 in Albany, New York as the packet seed division of Lofts Seed Company. We moved to the rural village of Cambridge, New York in 1977 where we remain today.

The business went through two ownership changes previous to being solely owned by Lance Bentley, who along with his father, Ray Bentley, started the original company.

On Thanksgiving night in 1997, a fire destroyed all of our production, storage and office facilities. Through the combination of help from industry friends, the dedication of employees and just plain hard work, Bentley Seeds was able to rebuild and reestablish itself as a leader in the retail and promotional packet business.

The current facility includes an in-house graphics and printing department as well as a production department featuring state-of-the-art filling equipment.

Last year alone, Bentley produced almost 50 million packets of seed ranging from orders of as few as 100 packets to national programs of several million.

TOUR BENTLEY SEEDS

 
  This is a close-up of the "business end" of one of our packet filling machines. The photo shows the control panel as well as the loading magazine and indexing conveyor into which the filled packets are deposited.

  These are two of our twelve filling machines that can accurately fill over 30 thousand packets a day each. The black hose in the photo is part of our exhaust system that removes any dust from the seed as it is being put in the packets.

  This is a view of our south warehouse where finished retail displays and other materials are stored prior to shipment. With over 40 thousand displays to ship every year, we use every cubic foot of space available utilizing purpose-built custom shelving.

  This is one of our retail display assembly lines. Each display is pre-loaded by hand with the correct amount and varieties of seeds. Our experienced staff can convert well over one million packets into displays a week.
