I cater to a market that appreciates unusual and heirloom varieties... Baker Creek has these in spades! The website is easy to navigate and extremely informative... every seed has its story. |
Positive | arachide (12 reviews) | On Jan 11, 2008, arachide Chicago, IL (Zone 5b) wrote: This was my first order and I am very pleased. Shipment was quick and they included a pack of free seeds even though my order was small. That was nice. They carry a few hard to find seeds and I like their philosophy so I will definitely be ordering from them again. |
Positive | tggfisk (18 reviews) | On Jan 10, 2008, tggfisk Garner, NC (Zone 7b) wrote: I've just received my first order from this company. I was surprised at how quickly it arrived. Notice was sent via e-mail to keep track of everything. Seeds arrived in fine shape, were well labeled, and had more than the posted amount of seeds in the packs. They look fresh and healthy. Can't wait to plant! |

Positive | Sherrysue (5 reviews) | On Oct 26, 2007, Sherrysue Hillsdale, WY wrote: I've placed orders from Bakers Creek about four times and they are my favorite seed company. However they are not perfect. I've had a few items substituted, like one type of purple cauliflower with a different type of purple cauliflower; not a big deal. I never received a 2007 catalog in the mail. Sometimes they sell out of items and don't say so on the website. Personally I'd rather be backordered than refunded, but you do get refunded right away. The seeds always arrive within a few days, there are usually free gifts, and the seed collections are a great bargain. When I ordered the northern seed collection, I had enough seeds to plant my own garden for two or three years and I shared some seeds with my friends. The amount of seed in each packet is more than I can usually plant in a season, even with my family of eight. For example, I planted purple carrots from the same packet for three years before I ran out. All of the seeds I have planted have been true to type. I esspecially like the varieties offered, which can be very hard to find elsewhere. I will do business with them again. On February 4th, 2008, Sherrysue added the following: Once again, fast service. free seeds, and the coolest varieties! I also ordered a book from them at no extra shipping. Awesome! |
Positive | koipondgardener (1 review) | On Sep 22, 2007, koipondgardener Quincy, WA (Zone 7a) wrote: I ordered one packet of dark purple opal basil seeds about four or five weeks ago, and I did not recieve them until just about two weeks ago because of some trouble that they encountered with acceptinng the order.two and a half weeks ago I asked to track my order because at that point it had been three weeks, which is two weeks longer than they said it would take, since I had ordered. I got a reply in a timely manner and they were so embarassed that they had goofed up they sent me not only the purple basil that I had originally ordered they also sent me two other types of basil (genovese and lettuce leaf) along with some white carrot seed. I am anxious to see how they germinate. All in all I am satisfied with the company and they were very helpful about everything. |

Baker Creek is the first place I look now whever I need to purchase seeds. I cannot recommend them highly enough,they have been a real treat to me since I left North America and find now I able to get almost anything I want through them in a very fast and economical way. I never miss a chance to spread the word in the UK about this great company.Thank you Baker Creek you are the topsXX Jeannine from Hull UK |

They have a great selection of seeds and the orders always arrive promptly. I especially like the free bonus seeds they have sent with my orders. Some of these bonus varieties have come to be our favorite plants. |
Positive | Spriggin (19 reviews) | On Jun 16, 2007, Spriggin Selma, OR wrote: Even though I have not ordered large quantities of seed from these folks, I certainly admire their mission. When their catalog arrives I get all excited and can hardly wait to put the garden in. Everything I have gotten from them has lived up to their promises. Just wanted to let you know. On February 10th, 2009, Spriggin added the following: I was going to wait until my seeds came up before I offered another rating but I've changed my mind. The order was prompt and I can hardly wait to start planting. The FREE seeds I received I consider a GIFT and are not sneered at or disparaged. I thank you very much. On June 27th, 2009, Spriggin added the following: Had a bit of a germination problem this year, but after I let them know about it they promptly refunded my card. They also expressed interest in tracking down the offending seeds so it could be remedied. Great job guys! |
Positive | three_elms (4 reviews) | On Jun 13, 2007, three_elms Tippecanoe, IN wrote: We placed two orders this year and the majority of our vegetable garden is through their seeds. (potato,sweet potato and cabbages the exception). They ship incredibly fast, their prices are fair and the web site has good descriptions. The seeds have germinated well and we've been very pleased. |
Positive | jjpm74 (4 reviews) | On Jun 2, 2007, jjpm74 Stratford, CT (Zone 6b) wrote: I ordered some rare and hard to find Hubbard seeds through this company about 2 weeks ago. They were sent within 24 hours, I received a nice pack of zinnias as a bonus and I'm happy to report that all of the seeds I planted have already germinated and are thriving. This is a first class company and I will definitely be doing most of my seed purchases through them in the future. |

I have also recently ordered on-line and the seeds arrived quicky and came as promised. This is a good, honest company. The prices are very reasonable. The seeds I have purchased from them seem to be of very good quality. |

Positive | Mama_G (1 review) | On Apr 24, 2007, Mama_G Grand Junction, IA (Zone 4b) wrote: I ordered two different orders from Baker Creek. One of the watermelon varieties I ordered was out of stock. The refunded my money with the seeds, and my free packet of seeds was a watermelon! I've started the curcurbits for transplant in a few weeks, and things are starting to come up. My cat knocked over the cucumbers, and they are still coming up. All in all, I am satisfied with their service and quality. They are cheaper than the other Heirloom companies. |

After reading some of the negitives I feel the need to state I have had no problems and even my seeds that were marked low germination are thriving. Some people like to complain and some people just don't know how to garden. |

Positive | froggy23696 (5 reviews) | On Mar 21, 2007, froggy23696 Lancaster, PA wrote: Within the past 4 weeks I have received 2 separate seed orders (5-15 packets each order). Both orders were received quickly, and in perfect condition. I planted seeds (generous amounts given) including the awesome free seeds they give you, and most seedlings have sprouted by now, and the percentages are close to 100% if not 100%. Great seed company!!!! I will be ordering again soon! |

My order was shipped to the UK and arrived in good time, in fact the shipping charge was much less than the actual cost of the postage. (This company might want to review its postage policy to Europe actually!) |

When it didn't show up in what seemed like a reasonable time, I emailed the company. They replied promptly and we figured out that the order ended up in the wrong state.

I ordered over $300 worth of seeds/books/dvd and only two packs of seeds were out of stock. That is great. I would also like to see internet order customers called and emailed with "out of stock or backordered items" so that a substitute may be chosen. That would make them more money and make customers even happier. I will be ordering again! Thank you Pam and the rest of the staff at Baker...W.G. |

It was hard to limit my order to a reasonable size. There's 52 watermelons there to choose from, good grief; I picked 6. A nice collection of garden berries including Burbank's Sunberry (Wonderberry); I picked 4. |
