Our Story - Deep Roots
Lifetyme Seed Company was started January 4th, 1947 by Pete Behm and Albert Hagemann in Peoria, Illinois. Since that day, Lifetyme Seed Company has been rooted in the Peoria area and we are proud of our Midwestern family values.
In 2018, Lifetyme Seed Company became part of Foster’s, Inc. A family owned, premier wholesaler of garden, lawn, and landscape supplies in the Upper Midwest, Foster’s was a perfect fit for the Lifetyme brand.
We are known for our seed quality, attention to service, innovation in grass seed technology, and our timeless Lifetyme brand cotton retail bags.
When you’ve been around for 75+ years, you learn a few things! We apply these decades of knowledge to our grass seed offerings every day and that’s why we can still say…
“Guaranteed to grow, or another bag free!”
