Comments regarding Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.

Excellent customer service, super-fast shipping and high quality products. This is my second year ordering from Baker Creek. Besides, their catalog is so superb that I keep it handy all year long. Can't wait to start this year's seeds!

I like shopping at Baker Creek and I trust in the customer service. I buy from a few places, but the bulk of my seed comes from Baker Creek. I have the best germination rates here, the shipping is affordable, the selection wide and the customer service great. I have only had a few, small issues, over the years here. Once there were weavils in my beans, but within 3 days the company had replaced the pack with 2 packs free from weevils. Every seed company I have bought from has had some small issue here and there- that happens; I don't mind as long as it is fixed and I am acknowledged. This is the main reason I shop at Baker Creek. I do wish the company would add more planting information on seed packets. I know DTM is not supposed to be accurate, but I find those numbers useful as a guide. They should be on the packets of seeds.

Got everything i ordered in 6 days plus a free gift pack of lettuce seeds. Very happy.

I have been a customer of Baker Seeds for years. I love their seeds and their magazine is just amazing. Occasionally I had some seeds that didn't germinate, so I called the customer service with the lot number and explain the problem and they always send a replacement package without me asking ... even if the seeds were older than one year.
I will keep ordering from this company.

I have ordered over several years- they have been wonderful!
The seeds are impeccable, excellent germination.
They even sent an email to verify if I had actually gotten the seeds (I live in a very remote place in Brazil)
I am definitely a fan of Baker Creek...

I am a advisor to our community garden and wanted rat-tail radish seeds for a scheduled planting date...pronto! We received the seeds within a week of the online order. Because many new gardeners haven't seen a picture of what they would be growing I especially appreciated the beautifully photographed seed packet.

I had a great experience with Baker Creek Seeds. I ordered via their website - the customer comments really helped me decide what seeds to buy. My order arrived within a week, nicely packaged. Not too expensive for heirloom seeds either!

After being introduced to them by my uncle, a loyal customer, I too have joined the ranks of the Baker Creek faithful. The catalogue is gorgeous, but that's not why. I love the history they include about each variety. I have always been pleased with the expediency and accuracy of shipping. And of course, the seeds are wonderful! I also appreciate their efforts to keep us informed about food issues in our world today - Monsanto, et. al.

If there was one thing I would change, I would ask that they include information about which varieties do well in which zones/seasons. Before purchasing, I always read the reviews on their website, but unfortunately not all reviewers disclose their growing zone.

All in all, I would highly recommend Baker Creek.

Happy gardening!

Baker creek heirloom seeds has a colorful, well-designed catalogue with a large selection. Their online site is more up to date with current stock, but all but two of the offerings I wanted from the catalogue were available at the time I placed my order. I ordered on a Saturday and received my order the following Tuesday. Overall, I am very impressed with the service I received from Baker Creek and plan to place an order with them next year.

I got my seeds very quickly and I am very pleased with the available selection and cost.

I ordered seeds by mail. I received them quickly, and the order was accurate. They offer a wide variety not, available in ordinary seed catalogs. I look forward to growing these plants!

Considering Mexican mail service, my orders have always arrived within 2 weeks and have always been correct. So many seed varieties are not available for purchase in Mexico and many that are, have been treated with dyes, among other things. Because of the climate; especially the rainy season, I am still in an experimental and learning stage. However, regardless of outcome, all seed have germinated. I am extremely pleased with the many choices, ease of ordering and international shipping.

I ordered 18 in-stock seed packets. They came quickly and with a free packet of red romaine lettuce. The packets are very nice and have full instructions.

I really like Baker Creek's website. You are able to keep track of many things after creating an account. They have a secure ordering site.

I really like the fact that each product on their site has customers reviews!

Thanks B.C., I am starting my seeds today!

This is the 3rd year we have dealt with Baker Creek....No problems with order. Seed quality is excellent.

Besides being fast and efficient, the order was correct despite it being a large one. There was a note of thank you in with the order that made it personal and something I appreciated very much. I will definitely use them again.

This is my third year ordering from Baker Creek. All my seeds in the previous two years germinated and performed very well. I am zone 5. I love the variety of choices at Baker Creek and they have very competitive prices! Can't wait to get planting with my seed order that just arrived today - very quick turnaround! Good job Baker Creek, I'll keep coming back.

For two years in a row Bakerscreek has sent out my seed order promptly. I am extremely happy doing business with them! I will definitely be back again next year to place another order! Thankyou Bakerscreek Seeds, for doing what you do best. You are why we can grow from our own seeds and hopefully put GMO's out of business!!!

I love the website design. It is very user friendly, had no problem at all finding the envy soybeans I was looking for.I placed my order on a Tuesday and my seeds were in the mail on Monday! Super fast and I was very pleased with my freebie seeds (lemon queen sunflowers). The price for shipping was very reasonable. I can not speak to germination as I just received them today. I am very pleased with my experiance and will order from them again when I begin my fall planting!

This is my second year ordering from Baker Creek. I love every step of it from the beautiful, free catalog, to the ease of ordering the seeds online, to the timely arrival of the seeds and also the "personalization" of the package. Whoever puts your package together personally signs a little thank you slip. There's something very neighborly about having the company nearby (as in the U.S.). They give you a free packet of seeds with every order and that's the icing on the cake. I'm always excited to see which plant it will be and am never disappointed. Due to my Baker seeds being drowned by little toddler helping hands last year, many of my seed starting was not successful but this year we will be doing this differently. :) I will continue to excitedly purchase from Baker Creek in the future if not every single year.

I've wanted to order from Baker Creek for years. Both their heirloom magazine and seed catalog are beautiful! But every year I would wait too long and end up just purchasing seeds locally of the same boring varieties and purchasing heirloom nursery plants that were breaking the bank. Well no more! I'm happy to say that I received my first Baker Creek order today less than a week after ordering on-line, AND in March which must be their busiest month. Very impressive! Included was a personal note from Jason (no, thank YOU Jason!) and a bonus seed packet. BTW, I just found out that our local library is launching a new program this spring where you can "check out" heirloom seeds, grow them, and return them to be shared with others. Guess who donated the seed? Baker Creek! What a great company.

Love all my seeds I ordered...So glad to be starting a new, healthy lifestyle....my favorite thing was getting free seed packets..

Ordered my seeds and received them in less than a week. Well packaged, with a personal note of thanks and an extra package of seeds as a bonus.

I have ordered from this wonderful company for the past four years and have had a very positive experience each time.

They also have the MOST beautiful catalog of seeds on the market. It's a work of art.

Placed my first order over the weekend on the recommendation of another customer. Seeds were in my mailbox on Tuesday! Can't wait for them to sprout.

Every winter I anxiously wait for my Baker's Creek Heirloom Seeds catalog. I love looking through their huge variety of seeds and beautiful pictures. I have ordered twice so far this year and I'm still thinking about more.
I've been using their seeds for several years with great success for an amateur. The seeds arrived quickly [in 6 days] and included a free pack of seeds. It's so nice to do business with real people. Thank you Baker's Creek for taking a stand against GMO's.

This is my first experience with the company and online seed purchasing. I chose Baker because of a friends suggestion. He has had nothing but good things to say about Baker. So far I have to agree.

By far the best seed company we have dealt with. We have ordered from them twice this year because of the variety they provide, the inexpensive shipping cost and friendly business practices. They did not have one thing in stock that we had wanted and they sent a cash refund with our order. We are delighted with the variety of rare seeds we now have and will continue to order from Baker Creek from here on out.

This was the first time I've ordered seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.

The seeds were delivered promptly, and in a padded envelope to help prevent damage. I love that they added some bonus seeds (Lemon Queen Sunflowers), and am looking forward to planting them in my garden.

There was a small error with my order: one packet of seeds was omitted, and one I hadn't ordered was included in the mailing. I brought the error to their attention via email, and it was handled easily and professionally.

I would recommend Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds to friends, and will be ordering from them in the future. You just don't get this kind of customer service from big box stores!

I love the catalog, its so inspirational! I also got my order within 7 days of ordering along with a thank-you note, got some free gift seed packets which is always a treat! Got some of my first planting done (I'm new to vegetable gardening) and so far so great! Just follow the instructions and the results are there! My spinach, mustard greens, squash, cucumbers, lettuce, and okra are growing! My celery isn't showing any movement, but I am a beginner, and they provided enough seeds to make it through the learning curve. I also just placed a second order and I can't wait to receive it!

I went to the website looking for some petunia seeds and was pleasantly suprised. I found several old varieties at the site as well as a few hard to find herbs. The seeds not only arrived quickly, but they had included a pack of sunflower seeds as well. What a nice suprise. I am just starting them, so I can't speak to the germination rate, but I'm very pleased with both the varieties they carry as well as the fast shipping.

I am above and beyond pleased with Bakers Creek so far. I had a hiccup with a seed count in 1-2 packets out of 8 or so & they more than made up for it immediately..im talking double to triple the original amount. I plan to share the extra and if they have success they will probably become customers as well. They were polite & truly seem to care about their customers. If I have success with germination and such you bet I will be back every year to order more. It is sad how few company's will respect their customers these days. I really appreciate it.

I am very pleased with Baker Creek. I ordered seeds last friday just after Missouri's Storm of the Century, and then this week Missouri had yet another storm of the century. This afternoon my seeds arrived with several free samples. I am impressed with the swiftness in which my seeds arrived considering 2 different storms of the century. The crew at Baker Creek Heirloom seeds really run a tip top ship. I will continue to order from them.

Excelent service, and a free packet of seeds, Thank you.

Fast shipping! I received my order for vegetable seeds within a week of ordering. The seed envelopes are beautifully designed, and they include specific planting instructions and history about the seed type. I was so happy with this order that I immediately placed another order, this time for flower seeds. I received the flower seeds within a week as well. As a bonus, a free pack of seeds is included with each order!

I've also enjoyed getting to know Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds through their facebook page where they provide lots of great information through links & inspirational photos. I'm a happy customer, and I highly recommend Baker Creek!

I have purchased from them three times now and have been very pleased each time. They have a great selection of heirloom seeds. They have great prices and quick, inexpensive shipping. I love their catalog and their book, "The Heirloom Life Gardener."

As a retail hydroponic store in Alaska, our gardeners are passionate about variety and quality. Our customers gave us their top 5 picks of seed suppliers and Baker Creek was #1.

We just got our shipment in and everyone is very happy to see your seeds in our stores. Your ordering process was simple, employees friendly and helpful and our shipment arrived in a timely manner.

We are also going to start growing the free seeds we got along side our other vegetables that we have in our enclosed indoor garden display.

Thanks, Baker Creek Heirloom! We will be ordering from you again!

I bought seeds from them on a reference. I'm glad I did. Excellent service, thanks guys!

My seed packages arrived two weeks after ordering, all looking good. Some of the radishes are already germinating and the germination rate seems excellent so far. Bargain prices, great selection and fast shipping. What's not to like?

For the past several years, I have purchased MANY seeds through Baker Creek online shopping. I always get good seed in a timely manner and well within my budget. Thanks to everyone at Baker Creek Seeds!

As a first time customer, I had an excellent experience with Baker Creek. I found the website easy to navigate, the descriptions informative and the choices...difficult! :-)

After placing my order, I waited all of about 5 days for my seeds to arrive, neatly packaged and with an unexpected extra packet of a variety I ordered. So I emailed them letting them know of what I thought was an error and to go ahead and charge my card for the extra packet. I was promptly informed that the extra packet was sent to make up for any possible problem with seed counts (and when I checked the seed counts, there wasn't any) and to keep the seeds at no extra charge! Talk about customer service!

I will definitely be ordering from Baker Creek again!
