Fedco does not have a website to speak of. It justs says they exist, but
the site is not interactive, and they don't even have an e-mail address!

FEDCO's number is 207-873-7333.

One of the reasons they do so little in the way of advertising is it keeps
their costs down. Their catalog, while very thick, has no colored pictures,
although the descriptions are full and very interesting.

They don't have banks of people manning phones; they charge YOU if you order
by fax; they don't have a great website. But what they do have is CHEAP
PRICES.

Their quality is very high. Oh, and another intersting thing about Fedco is
that they code every seed to let you know whether the company or farm - be
it a small farm or a huge one - is involved in genetic manipulation.
However, none of their seed is GM'd. The information is just about those
particular companies.

Most of the seed is organically grown. They give generous discounts if the
orders get in by a certain time. But even without the discounts, you can't
beat the prices!
