We have commercial growers who buy seed from Jordan in northern Illinois. I don't think Jordan sells organic seeds, but they are a family firm who has been around a long time. I've never heard complaints.

  I heard about the Jordan Seed company here and the prices seem very reasonable.  How reliable are they for quality and for reliably getting what one orders?  They seem much cheaper than Fedco for a lot of items though not all.  The Sweet corn prices were pretty low from my experience, about 20-25 %, other items like beets were about half the price.  On the down side they seem to leave out information on their website but they did respond the same day during this holiday season which impressed me somewhat.  I like saving money but I'm wondering if I'll have more headaches than its worth given their prices.  I guess it couldn't be worse than Fedco but I try not to learn things the hard way.
