Positive | floralbell (2 reviews) | On May 1, 2016, floralbell Holland Patent, NY wrote: So pleased to find an heirloom seed source close to home that takes into consideration the challenges of gardening in the northeast, mainly the short growing season and the frequent lack of sun. My order arrived quickly, they were generous with the seeds, and the art packs were lovely. I also like to support local small businesses whenever possible. |

On 3/20/12, I started 5 kinds of tomato and Genovese basil seeds in cells in flats in the house. Within 4 days, they were all coming up! I was shocked! I have never planted seeds with such viability and germination rates as these! It pained me to thin them. Now, on 4/13/12, 3 weeks and 4 days later, they all have 3rd and 4th sets of leaves, and I have to transplant them to larger containers this weekend. (The other seeds I ordered will be direct sown outdoors when the time is right.) I am extremely impressed with Hudson Valley Seed Library, and I recommend them to everyone here. |

This group of people is trying to raise and sell seeds that are NOT GMO, not products of Monsanto and not products of big business. The fact that they include art as part of the experience is the most natural occurrence, ever. Gardening IS art. And Hudson Valley Seeds' packages aren't just beautiful; they contain seeds that are a gardener's dream. They're viable. They're cultivated for Northeastern soil. And they yield crops that most of us only dream about. I cannot express how much joy there is in ordering them which is only trumped by the joy you feel the day they arrive in the mail. I run Grow Girls Grow Organic on Linked In and we LOVE Hudson Valley Seeds. |

The organization keeps local seed (and food!) viable while mesmerizing everyday people with artwork as diverse as its seed collection. |

I think I bought twice as many seeds from them this year as I did last year because I was so pleased with my results last year. |
Positive | ktsame (1 review) | On Apr 11, 2012, ktsame Munnsville, NY wrote: Hudson Valley Seed Library is great. I love the art work on the packages and I have had great luck with starting some of their seeds indoors. I like the fact that you can put the seed package back in the outer cover and re-seal for storage - nice touch. They have a great website with lots of great gardening tips. I support their business model - small, NY based, dedicated to seed preservation. I came across this company at a local store - they had a nice display with a wide variety of seeds. You may pay a bit more but I don't mind - would rather support this company and others like it than big agri-business that is cranking out genetically modified seeds:) |

I purchased Hudson Valley Seed Library seeds when they attended Saugerties Farmers Market and nearly every seed germinated. They're a good value with a "local" mission. What else can you ask for? |
Positive | lunamuna (1 review) | On Apr 11, 2012, lunamuna Rosendale, NY wrote: The Hudson Valley Seed Library is one of the most amazing companies that exists. Their product, interesting heirloom non-gmo open pollinated seeds, are top notch. But what they provide is much more then just a commodity. The HVSL allows me to grow truly local food from seed to plate! With the purchase of a seed packet I am also able to support local farmers and artists! WOW! |
Positive | fuz_eller (1 review) | On Apr 11, 2012, fuz_eller Canastota, NY wrote: I made my first purchase from Hudson Valley at the Home and Garden show near Syracuse this year. I love their ethos and my first seedlings are growing vigorously. The artwork on the packets is wonderful, though I can appreciate a buyer's potential apprehension at not having the usual planting and care details on the outside. That didn't stop me and I'm looking forward to working with a small local grower instead of having to order all my heritage seed from across the country. |
