I might want to chime in a little here.
I have dealt with E&R for several years. As far as I can tell they
are honest folks who try to give good service in their own way. I have
come to know them even better as a result of my association with our local
Mennonite community through their process of establishing a local produce
auction. They are getting a bigger variety of seed (and supplies) and
their prices are quite attractive. I was put off a little at first by
their lack of phone accessability (no longer as big of an issue) and I thought
they were a little slow processing some orders. I was also a little
unsure about the quality of some of their seed but I have never had major
complaints that I could pin directly to their products. Since my local
source for bulk seeds (corn, beans, peas, etc.) has largely dried up I have
been giving them more of my bulk seed business. Two years ago when
I had to redo my order following our fire loss they not only replaced my lost
seed free of charge but they also packed the seed in a much larger box and
filled it with additional items like towels, socks, and other commonly used
household items. They demonstrated their compassion by going the second
mile, a common value pertinent to Amish-Mennonite culture.
Knowing that lot of Amish and Mennonites in
the Midwest, Pennsylvania, and now Virginia have been getting into the
produce business in recent years ,and E&R is servicing a significant
portion of that supply market, I feel fairly confident that E&R Seed is
growing into a company (or should it more appropriately be called a well run
family business) that is worthy of our trust and support.
