I've heard good things about Bakers Creek. I use High Mowing for most of my seeds because I like their small business model, their focus on specific varieties including ones they develop themselves, transparency in field trials, and their colder climate. I know they're a wee bit pricier than other places but I find their seed quality and customer service to be high.

Thanks, I'll have to check them out.

Since I moved I'm in a weird growing area...not quite north but quite not south either. And too much in the mountains for the calming effects of the ocean like many mid-Atlatic areas have. Some things I used to grow in the north are fine here and others are just not. It's still a learning process.

I took a quick tour of their veggies and was impressed! Some things are very reasonably priced for organics, others not so much...however I tend to not to grow what everyone else grows so I can see easily making the min for free shipping amount there and I ordered a catalog.
Thanks for posting them!

Well if anyone wants variety suggestions for USDA zones 5b-6a and wet clay soils from their catalog, I have some (dozens). XD I've been buying from there for almost 7 years.

Baker’s Creek Heirloom seeds are the only seeds I grow and have for years. Great company and good germination. Monsanto owns the majority of seed companies, even Johnny’s Organics, and I can’t support them so I stick with the heirloom varieties. We don’t use any chemicals in our yard/garden.

These guys are an hour from the house. I’ll be spending way too much money with them in about 45 days.

Yep, High Mowing is an independent seed supplier. Not owned by a major agribusiness.
