I've bought from them for years. Fast, free shipping of seed packets with no minimum, great catalog of different kinds of seeds, and they give you a free packet of seeds with your order. As a gardener, I couldn't be happier with them.

I saw several ads for Bakers Creek on Facebook and thought to give them a try. I ordered their beautiful catalog, it is filled with all sorts of information regarding their seeds. I ordered a few seeds that I wanted to try and I had them within the week. Bakers sent me some free seed packets based on what I ordered and I am excited to try them this fall. My husband recently built me three raised gardens and I decided to plant few seeds to try it out. My plants are already 3 inches tall and I planted them only a week ago. I cannot wait to plant the rest of these seed. What a great investment for my gardens and I see a very good future with Baker Creek and myself!

We've been using them to order seeds for a couple of on-campus gardens for years, and we've always had great experiences with them! We usually order a whole bunch of seeds, and they usually throw in some extra freebie packets too! The only time we ever had an issue was back in March or April when one of our orders got lost in the mail - I emailed them to check in on this, and they reshipped our package ASAP and we got it within the next week or so. Wonderful seeds and wonderful people! Thanks!

Most of the seeds I bought this year did not germinate. Not a single Malabar spinach, 2 kinds of amaranth, cilantro, free bokchoh all Did not sprout. Radish gave me greens but no bulbs. New Zealand spinach either did not sprout. I threw money and time down the drain
Response from Baker Creek Heirloom SeedsMay 28, 2025
We are sorry to hear you have had trouble with your seeds. We take our seed program very seriously, and we want our customers to get the best possible seeds. To that end, we practice strict adherence to the Federal Seed Act, which requires that we test the germination rate of all lots of seed that we sell. While different crop types have different minimum germination rates, all must test at or above the minimum standard for that type, or be clearly marked otherwise. Most of the seeds that we sell are tested by SGS, the world’s premier testing, inspecting and certification company. We have approximately 4,000 lots of seed that must be tested regularly. Our staff is responsible for sampling the seed lots and coordinating with SGS. Our staff records, tracks, and logs the results internally. No seed is packed without a valid germination report. We try not to sell seeds with germination below the minimum federal standard, but it is sometimes unavoidable due to extenuating circumstances such as low inventory or customer demand for an exceedingly rare variety. In these cases, all seed packs are labeled as “overpacked due to low germ" and the rate must be declared on the label, along with the month and year of the test result. Additionally, we regularly grow most of the seed varieties we offer in our trial gardens and greenhouses to assess their essential qualities such as flavor, hardiness, growing profile, and whether they grow true to type. There are many variables outside Baker Creek’s control that may affect your seeds’ performance, including weather, soil composition, light, and pests. Additionally, seed packages may be subjected to irradiation by the postal service or be exposed to excessive weather conditions during shipping. Baker Creek is committed to customer satisfaction. If you are unsatisfied with our seeds for any reason, we will cheerfully replace them with more seeds of the same variety, a different variety of your choice, or issue a refund. Please email us at [email protected] and let us know how you would like us to proceed.

This was only the second time I ordered from this place and they sent me some free seeds. The funny part was I never would have ordered anything like this. They are really growing well and are beautiful. These people appreciate your business and do a great job of getting things to you in a timely manner and their products have been of great quality. Keep up the good work!

Found some really unique seed varieties here that I haven't found anywhere else. My seeds sprouted well this spring and my plants are looking healthy. Super excited to harvest my purple karma barley!

I've been a customer for over a decade, and I have enjoyed the variety of unique and novel seeds. I especially enjoy growing something new each year along with "the usual" stuff I grow each year. I've always had reliable results and enjoy the quality and success that I've had.
