Comments regarding Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.

Speedy delivery during the busiest time of the year. I was impressed with the packaging and thankful for the free pack of seeds.

My wife and I attended the Baker Creek Tulip Festival April 7. Had a wonderful time. So many friendly, helpful folks. Bought seeds at the Fest and already have had fast flower germination. Convinced us to place orders with them.

Great customer service. Received order in timely manner. Love how they always include a free seed packet. Flowers and vegetables are described accurately. Good germination.

I have been ordering from Baker Creek for 20 years now. I placed my 1st order in 2004. I have had mostly good experiences. There have been a few items over the years that didn't live up to the hype in the catalog. But overall, I appreciate the fast service, nice catalog, good telephone service (do they still do that? They used to, lol).

I am presently waiting on an order from them that is taking longer than normal in the mail. But I am hoping it will arrive this week. The USPS has changed our distribution center from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Denver, Colorado, and it seems to be causing the mail service to slow down a bit.

But overall, this is a reliable company and I have no doubt I will order again, and again, and again, lol...

Starting my 2nd year buying from Rareseeds. Overall a very rewarding relationship. Every seed hasn't done well, but some have been due to my inexperience, some because the Texas Panhandle is a challenge to Garden! The live Japanese sweet potatoes last year were a big success. This year was Potato microtubers,2 varieties, just planted last week. Vegetables, herbs, flowers, of all kinds ,so many available that I have trouble finding space for everything I want to try. New this year: Purple Broccoli, Arugula,Corn Salad, Scarlett & Dwarf Siberian Kale,Merlot & Tennis Ball Lettuce, all growing exceptionally well. The ordering process is expedient, the Catalog extensive, & free shipping to boot.The only criticism I can manage is that there are literally hundreds of more plant varieties I want, more than I can handle.

I ordered a catalog from them. Then I ordered some seeds. The shipping is fast, the seeds are packageed carefully and in a fancy bubble envelope. I even received a gift seed packet. I am very impressed and satisfied with the purchase. I just need to buy more land at this point to fit all the plants i want to grow.

I have ordered from Baker Creek for 3 years now and have been pleased. Their seeds have close to a 100% germination rate for me, their live plants arrived in fantastic shape, and their customer service has been exemplary.
I wish all my relationships could be as positive as my interactions with this company :).

My mother has ordered from Baker Creek for many years and has always been happy with her seed. I placed an order on 4/15/2023 and received it within a few days. Quite quickly considering the mail has slowed down considerably over the last couple of years. I planted several types within the first two days I received them, and they're already sprouting. Super pleased with germination so far!

I was also very excited about the two packets of free seed and pleasantly surprised that it seems as though they took the time to look at what we had bought instead of just tossing something random in. I had ordered peppers and received wasabi and another pepper variety. While I can't tolerate either, my partner was super excited about the spicy additions.

Thank you for an excellent first-time experience!

I enjoy the fast shipping and reasonable prices of your seeds. Other sites charge so much for the shipping that sometimes I just leave the items in the cart. The only negative I have is that I can't get everything from you and sometimes I have to shop somewhere else.
Keep up the pleasant service and pricing and I will be a customer for life.

This has been an excellent company to work with. The seeds are excellent quality, and the prices are awesome. They ship quickly and the customer service is by far the best. Thank you!

Excellent Customer Service! FIVE STARS!
When the USPS lost my (tracked) seed order, I was very disappointed!
But, the Baker Creek folks were gracious enough to replace the lost seeds when notified AND they did it in 2 days!!!

The zucchino rampicanteseeds are now sown and there's hope that they will produce late this summer or in the early fall.

We are very pleased with Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co due to their EXCELLENT customer service and tremendous selection of very unusual seeds. I ordered some packets last week and somehow there was an error with it. I contacted their customer service, and within a couple of hours, Baker Creek resolved the problem. Also, the free shipping and speed of delivery is fantastic. We are very excited to plant the new seeds and sneak the crops in before the first frost.

I really liked the Baker Seed site and was very happy with the speed at which I received my seeds with no shipping cost. Thank you!

The best.
Seeds always germinate. I have had 1 low germ rate pack arrive out of probably hundreds of seed packets, it was labeled with the germination rate %. They doubled the count to make up for the low rate (that was still greater than 3/4, so basically a free extra half packet for the inconvenience of a few not sprouting).
The live plants are always alive and healthy.
Plus free seeds!

My primary source of seeds for several years now and have never been disappointed. Looking at their catalog gets me through the winter. It's visually stunning. Such a wonderful variety of seeds. Shipping has always been prompt and they have numerous cultivars I have yet to see anywhere else. Especially fond of their Iraqi varieties, including Ali Baba watermelon and Abu Rawan tomatoes.

I have been purchasing seeds from Baker Creek going for a few years. I have had success with the seeds and they have not disappointed. Recently I purchased live blueberry plants, and they arrived looking healthy. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I love their free delivery and speed. I also enjoy their free seeds, and the beautiful pictures on the seed packets. Their website is addicting, and one has to be careful if not you could easily fill the shopping cart. Thank you for your great seeds and service.

This is simply to affirm that Baker's Creek provides prompt free shipping to complement their thoughtful and varied seed selection displayed so beautifully on their site. When I saw they were donating all their sales to the Ukrainian humanitarian effort one weekend, I had to order again (even though I had reached my budget limit)! I will post again after my harvest this year but so far, I'm beyond impressed.

Quality seeds! Easy to use website. Catalog is now a reference collectible for me. Pages are filled with gorgeous photographs of the plants. Love seeing members of the family with the plants. (your kids have wonderful smiles) All color pics are so great! FREE SHIPPING and excellent packaging is a big win for me! (deal breaker!) Can you hear all the bells and whistles going off right now? Discovered some new plants I am going to love seeing in my garden this season! Your Spirit shines through when you donated 100% of sales for the weekend to Ukraine. I bless you for that. Namaste.

This is one of the seed sites I can lose way too much time browsing. They have a huge selection of interesting and unique plants. I don't have deep pockets so I only ordered a few packs but I'm exciting to see what the fruit grows like. They included a free packet of herb seed in my order which I received quickly after ordering. I will be ordering from them again.

In watching two of my favorite YouTube gardening channels I found out about Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. What a HUGE selection. I was in heaven. We moved last summer to zone 7 and I didn't have enough time to plant a garden so was eager to start this year. I spent over $60 in seeds! With that I received several free packets of seeds that I'm happy to try. I started in seed trays and all of the seeds germinated quickly! The plants are growing fast and I can't wait to see what my garden yields this year. I will definitely be shopping with them again in the future.

Once again, I got my seeds very quickly and well-packaged. I found what I wanted and am looking forward to the seeds germinating and growing. Baker Creek always has a very interesting and diverse group of seeds, bulbs and other gardening-related products. I appreciate their humanitarian efforts, as well.

I'm new to gardening and purchased a few packs of seeds from Baker Creek - even with just a mere 5 packs of seeds ordered they still threw in a free pack of seeds for me. Shipping is free as well so overall the price for the seeds was very reasonable! I'll definitely be ordering here again as I learn more about gardening and want to plant more veggies.

Love this company as a resource for seeds. I had a question about when to harvest eggplant, and one of the gardeners called me and gave me useful tips. I also love the fact that they always throw in one free "surprise" packet of seeds. Most importantly, they frequently notify regular customers of opportunities to buy packets and have the proceeds go to a worthy cause, whether it's victims of a natural disaster or refugees. Looking forward to many more years of getting an amazing variety of seeds from Baker Creek, and I miss living close enough to visit their farm in Missouri.

I have now ordered a few times from this company and have always been pleased with my purchases. I have always had success growing what I've purchased. Just received my order of Crimson Clover and Bulls Blood Beet seeds and am beyond excited for spring!

Oh I absolutely love this company!

I love this company! They have a lovely catalog with so many interesting seeds. I love to try new things and they have plenty to choose from. I also really love that they send a free seed packet with your order and this time it was Mizuna. I can't wait to try it! I'm a very happy customer!

I have ordered from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, probably 40 times over the years. I have always had a positive experience with them. The one time that I had germination issues with gray poppies, they refunded the cost of the seeds. I will continue to do business with this company without hesitation!

Quite a good selection of heirloom seeds. All I have tried are viable and produce well. These little round yellow squash and round zucchini are tremendous producers and everyone loves them! Thanks for preserving these great varieties!

I love ordering from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Free shipping on seeds makes it easy to order when I spot something that looks interesting, without having to try and group my orders to reduce shipping rates. I also love getting free seed packs when I order, as it is a nice surprise to see what new seeds I've received when my order arrives. Seed quality and variety is fantastic!

I’ve ordered a few times. Always an amazing selection, even when things sell out fast. This time I ordered enough for a free seed packet. You could tell that the picker took the time to consider my order and past orders and really put thought into the free seed packet they sent. I really appreciate it. Fast shipping, even to Iowa! Great customer service. If you haven’t checked out their YouTube you’re missing out. What a great all around company.

When I first ordered vegetable seeds from BC many years ago, I was disappointed by poor germination and off-types. However, I tried BC again after their Petaluma opening and have been a regular customer ever since. Variety, quality, and price are excellent. I particularly like their pepper and eggplant varieties. Germination is fast and reliable. I appreciate the free seed packet too.

Placed a small order almost 3 weeks ago to help out someone having difficulties. Three packets of seeds could have shipped first class envelope. They chose dhl where it has been sitting for two weeks. Dhl unreachable, baker creek does not care says it is circumstances beyond their control. The individual I was trying to help loves the artisan bumble bee varieties and was looking forward to growing them.

I have placed two orders with Baker Creek. My seed packets came within a reasonable amount of time (6-7 days), and to this date are germinating well.

With my most recent order, they included extra pepper seeds due to a low germination rate of that variety. I noticed a discrepancy regarding planting depth on one packet, but overall, the seed packaging is appealing and informative.

I plan on placing future orders, as they have many seeds I've been wanting to try in one place. I appreciate the many user reviews on specific varieties, because that helps me select the right plants for my personal situation and preferences.

Ordered thrice from Baker. Good communication when I have a question, well laid out website & pretty solid germination rates are why I shop here.

I have ordered from them for a few years. Good germination rates, accurate orders, fast deliveries.

Ordered 11 packs of seeds. $31 free shipping 2/28/2021. Order was received in 3 days with tracking. So far the seeds/plants are doing fine. Would order from them again.

Excellent seeds and service. Fast shipping even during the covid situation. Amazing selection of seeds including some very hard to find varieties.

Wonderful people and excited about adding them to our Homestead Garden show and podcast. Their seed product will be a wonderful addition and excited to see it enjoyed by our community and family. #MagnoliaCreationandHomestead #FarmFreshParenthoodPodcast

Woo Hoo! Seeds came today! This is only my second year ordering from them, but most did well last year & those that didn't did do well for a friend I shared with, so I think I may not have planted them in the best location-my mistake! Haven't planted the seeds that I saved from last year yet, so I can't comment on that yet. Love the catalog-My camera fed me for a few years & I know you're not buying pretty pictures, but I love the pics of the veggies. Someone has a good eye! Free shipping-Thank You! I wanted to place my major spring order, but I know I'll need something later & won't hesitate to place another order since I won't have to spend $4 shipping for a $3 package of seeds! Customer service-I asked for gift certificates for the holidays & receieved WAY more than my garden can grow in one season (such a problem-right?) so I called to see if they are good for more than a year (answer-yes!) I spoke to a very helpful person. Trying really different stuff this year-we're experimenting with more oriental veggies. So far a positive experience!

Although they had to temporarily shut down their site a few times I got my order in. My shipment came in about a week and a half. I ended up making a second order too. There was such a huge selection of black flowers I couldn't help myself.Also a shout out, thank you for the free packet of dinosaur kale. It looks really cool and can't wait to see what it looks like.The seeds look good and plentiful. I wintersowed many of them and will start some indoors this week in case I have any failure as it's my first time wintersowing and it could be a me thing.
