As long as you do not need organic seed they are very reliable.

I've purchased from Jordan Seeds before and bought a lot of our seed from them for this last planting season....I've been happy with their product and their service.  They're very quick to ship your order and/or inform you if an item is back-ordered or not available.   I would recommend them.

Good morning!

 

I just went to their website, and their pricing on the things I looked at was very attractive.  For instance, they have great pricing on lettuce seed.  We buy inexpensive varieties by the pound for our mesclun mix, and their prices are good.  Two caveats:  First, they do have some transgenic seed.  I noticed two transgenic varieties of summer squash - the way I understand, if it has a roman numeral after it, it's transgenic and one of the varieties had it in its description, the other did not.  So be careful if you don't want GMO seed on your farm.  I looked at sweet corn and did not see the "Attribute" varieties which are the transgenic sweet corn I'm familiar with.  Secondly, I didn't see any information about treated seed. I have emailed them to ask whether they have treated seed, and how to tell which, if any, is.

 

So, could be a good addition to our seed suppliers - just need to wait for an answer about treated seed since we don't use it.

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.
