Shoestring Acres seed is a small, native seed farm located in Antelope County on the western boundary of northeast Nebraska. We offer local ecotype wildflower and grass seed that is adapted to upland environments. The farm is named for the abundance of leadplant growing on our sandy and silty soils. When settlers broke the prairie they nicknamed leadplant "prairie shoestrings" because the shallow, woody roots popped like a (leather) shoestring when plowed. Steeped leadplant leaves make an excellent tea.
