“MountainSeed” originated from a dream, believe it or not. Like many small businesses, our team wasn’t sure if we were going to persevere through our first year as a company. However, David, one of our co-founders, had an inspiring dream that reassured us we were headed in the right direction.

In the dream, David was holding a few white seeds when suddenly they were slapped out of his hands. When David knelt down to pick them up, he was violently kicked to the ground. Later in the dream, brown seeds replaced the white and began to pour down into his cupped hands, piling up on the ground in huge amounts.

We believed God’s plan was to take away what we had and replace it with a gift in much greater abundance. From there, the name MountainSeed was born, and with it, the proclamation in Matthew 17:20 that "with faith like a mustard seed, you can move mountains." Come move Mountains with us.
