Ever Seen a Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Catalog?
comments (5) December 14th, 2009
If you can't remember if you've seen one or not, then I'm certain that you haven't. Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds has hands-down the most fantastic collection of vegetable pictures I've ever seen anywhere—much less in a catalog.
These images are nothing short of gorgeous and they do their job; they make me want to order every vegetable variety between their over-sized pages. While armchair gardening, I'm literally pulling out pages to frame for my office.
You won't find any hybrids in this catalog. Their seeds are open-pollinated and are free of any genetic altering. At Baker Creek, their goal isn't simply to sell vegetable and flower seeds, but to promote and educate gardeners on the vast amount of heirlooms available to home gardeners.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds 2278 Baker Creek Road Mansfield, MO 65704 417-924-8887 or Baker Creek Seed Bank 199 Petaluma Blvd. N. Petaluma, CA 94952 707-509-5171 http://rareseeds.com Request a catalog... |

Lucky for me, now the West Coast has over 1,200 heirloom seed varieties to choose from in their recent addition of a seed bank store in Petaluma, California. These varieties include 190 tomatoes varieties, 100 melons, and 150 squash varieties. These vegetables have found their way here from 70 countries. Inside the beautiful building in downtown historic Petaluma, the Seed Bank is also stocked with goods such as organically produced items, garden books, garden-themed artwork, and locally-made garden tools.
If you really get hooked on Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, you can subscribe to their quarterly print magazine, The Heirloom Gardener. This magazine has the valuable growing information written by the people who know vegetables best; heirloom farmers and gardeners.
