Unsatisfied with Baker Creek Seeds
I ordered most of my seeds from Baker Creek this year. I sell plant starts at the Farmers' Market. I try to offer varieties that are not at the big box stores and local nurseries. However, the Baker Creek seeds were the worst germinating seeds I have ever used. I have much better success with seeds from Dollar Tree.
Response from Baker Creek Heirloom SeedsMay 19, 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. 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. I have sent you this information on the email we received from you as well.
