Seed savers exchange, new hope seeds and stokes seeds are good companies too.
fritillary seed collective aim to provide gardeners with the best quality organic veggie seeds...

I've had good luck and fair prices with Ed Hume as well.

Heirloom seeds. Be sure to purchase heirloom varieties when possible, they will always be the highest quality, perfect for preservation and seeding the next generation. Heirlooms are quite interesting, I was looking at heirloom tomato varieties, and I came across one that was grown back in the days of George Washington, pretty cool. I don't have any specific companies to recommend, as I am also searching for the best source, but I know that I'll be buying heirloom.

I've haven't been as selective as I might have been over the years....I've grown too many hybrids and consequently continued to pay too much for them.
Don't get me wrong....I couldn't sell 30 tomato seeds for $3....but still it's a ongoing expense that I don't need. This year only Heirloom seeds for me!
Good thread....introduced me to companies that I didn't know exhisted.

Livingston Seed Company has some high quality seeds for low prices. I picked up all my seeds for this year for all of about $6. They also do not use genetically modified seeds whatsoever which I found out after calling them with the question.

They have interesting and varied promotions a couple times a year. Always a great deal with those. Like I noted above... a good company to keep an eye on. I believe they have a facebook page where they give coupons and promo deals too ... if you are the facebook type.
good luck and happy planting.
Fedco for the win. Burpee is great but a bit overpriced.
Remember though, there are pathogens that can be transmitted through seed quite easily, often some of the price differential (not much of it) is that you're receiving certified virus/pathogen free seed.
Nothing worse than finding out that the "purple" is due to a virus that doesn't do a thing to your pepper but then kills all your apple trees down to the graft line.
