There are specialty seed developers who you can order seeds from. Some of them are non commercial seed savers, others are very small businesses. Usually they have varieties that are much better than the big companies. There are a few good cultivars available from regional suppliers. In the northeast, for example, there is Harris seeds, Johnny's. But the hobbyists are better. Some are retired geneticists, from the big seed houses. Check with your local cooperative extension for hints on which cultivars are known to grow best in your climate and soil.
I suggest that for a few favorite plants, learn how to save their seeds and how to chose fathers and breed your own varieites. How to breed your own vegetable varieites by Carol Something.
