We've never been one to 'toot our own horn', but thought it would be good for you to hear from some of our customers...
	"Just a note to say I have been looking over your site, and I'm sure you hear this a hundred times a day but you have the best of everything. Your web site just sold me with all the wonderful variety you carry. I will never shop anywhere else again.....P" Sept 2006

"At last I have found an appropriate selection of leeks...N" December 2006 "The plastic plant tying material (BAVPT) is handy for several things in addition to tying and training plants. It is easy to carry a small ball of the material to tie packages, etc. I have a classroom of personal computers and tie the cables beneath the computer tables...G" February 2007 "...I appreciate your professional customer service. In this time we find too much customer service without sense, without human feelings, like robots answering us like a machine. Not in your case. In a few emails you projected your professional service and excellent human traits. It is a pleasure to place an order with Gourmet Seed...M" February 2007 "I have purchased your seed through Harvest Moon Seed (in the past) and must say that they are superb. I am pleased to be able to (now) purchase from Gourmet Seeds direct. Your seed is consistently clean and fresh and germination rates excellent. Descriptions are accurate and entice the home grower to try new varieties. You can bet your seed catalog is going to be passed around to all my gardening buddies!...S" Lafayette, CA Feb, 2007

Dear Sirs Last year we purchased your little gem parsnip seeds and our 9 year old grandson planted them. We were more than satisfied by the results and today have dug up the last of the crop, In September we decided to look at how the parsnips were progressing and as you can see from the picture of my mother with one of the crop they were progressing very well. We will certainly be buying more of your products this year and recommending them to our friends. Yours faithfully - Christine Bamber

"...I appreciate the extra attention I recieved from you and your employees. I also wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the high-quality packaging of all the seeds. Have a great spring season, and I look forward to doing business with you in the future...P" Yreka, CA Feb 2007 "...I am very impressed with the seeds from your company and hope to do business with you again. Thank you...A" Gentry, AR Mar 2007 "Thank you so much for your incredibly swift service...can't wait to see how everything will do up here in the Panhandle...S" Ponderay, ID Mar 2007 "I've ordered from you twice and am very happy with your genetic gems...J" Los Angeles, CA Mar 2007 "I wish to compliment you on your speedy shipment!...we found it interesting that some of the packets were labeled in German and other languages...we appreciate the variety of healthy seeds you offer. Thanks...M" Manti, UT Mar 2007 "Thanks for your personal reply. It's nice to know there are real human beings on the other end of our e-transactions...D" Mar 2007 "Hello folks, I just wanted to express my appreciation for an order I placed last month. When I first viewed your catalog, I was completely bowled over by the range of vegetables listed, especially those Italian and German varieties I had never seen. It was actually difficult to limit my selections because I wanted to order everything. The prices were reasonable, shipping was prompt, and I was very impressed by the generous size of the seed packets. Add to that, you provided some very useful gardening links on your website. You're the best! Count on me as a repeat customer. Thanks, B...Peoria, June 2007" "What a great website. I'm glad you are out there. It's a little late this year, but next year you folks are going to get in my back pocket for a chunk of change. Everything about your site is WONDERFUL!!!!! I don't think that I will have to go to any other site to buy everything I need for next season. Blessings, J...July 2007" "...I live in Detroit...I am amazed at your selections of vegetable varieties. I tried every variety and was surprised at the success I had with germination as well as growth. My latest trial is the Balong variety. I must compliment you guys and your company. This is the finest tasting baby bean variety I have ever had. The smooth flavor of the pods were most satisfying to the taste buds. Also a true mild and enjoyable bean flavor. Nothing at all like the traditional American types. I searched for over twenty years for this flavor of bean, I mean, I must have grown over twenty types from the big runner beans to the small baby bean type. But yours is the BEST, simple as that. I just started harvesting my first beans, these plants do extremely well in low moisture conditions. We have not had much rain at all this year. But I'm one step ahead of mother nature. I supplemented the soil before planting this year with generous amounts of home grown/harvested worm castings. I also supplemented with a ample supply of a combination of organic fertilizers. Primarily the Bio-Bizz line of organic products. Even though we have not had much rain, I'm still seeing a great taste in your varieties of vegetables. I can't imagne the sweet tastes they must give with normal rain falls...Gary, Detroit MI, July 2007" "I was surprised in a couple of days when I received delivery. First, it was really fast...I was expecting at least a couple of weeks. Second, they are packaged for upwards to the 2008 season...I didn't expect to be planting them all this season, and was concerned about them being usable next year...no longer. I am experimenting with doing a pumpkin patch this year and have items for sale. The seeds I purchased from the rack at the local grocery store didn't do well and needed to be filled in. No one in town has seeds anymore! I will now have a very good selection of types, thanks to you! I will definitely order from you again...David, July 2007" "Dang, dang, dang. One week ago I received my long-anticipted vegetable seeds (from a competitor). Two days ago I received your seed catalog and I'm in love. Your selection is great, and your prices jumped out at me. In a world of seed packets often going for $4 or more, your prices are so fair...Steven, January 2008" "...By the way, those radish seed from you, the German big radishes did wonderful and again I was their best customer. When I have some good rye bread, cool butter, a big radish sliced thin and salted, with good wheat beer and a summer breeze in the shade--take the phone off the hook and enjoy...at least that is what I do...Alex, January 2008" "Hi! I just got your catalog from the mail box and I started looking at it before I ate dinner. Big mistake! I ended up ordering too much so I'll just have to plant more...thanks for all the great varieties. My market niche is great taste and I am looking forward to trying your varieties...Mike, Feb 2008" "Your Harvest Knife is the most versatile tool I have. In the fall I used it for fast removal of tomato vines from cages and cuke and bean vines from trellises...Joan, March 2008" "I just ordered seeds from you for my father and he is thrilled with them. We have been looking for [this] pol bean for years and so pleased that you carry it. Thanks so much for all your effort to bring us the best of seeds...Jackie, March 2008" "You folks are wonderful to deal with--I have been passing your website around to all my gardening friends and to the various lists I am on. "I am really impressed with the foil packaging on many of the seeds--I am guessing that this method would keep the seeds for far longer than the typical expiration date (I am a believer in long term storage of your favorite seed varieties)...Paulette, March 2008" "Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful seed I get from you every year. I look forward to the catalogue every Spring and my family has enjoyed great produce from all over the world. Keep up the great work and I hope everyone has a great year...John, March 2008" "Thank you for the very quick service replacing the Kamo Eggplant seeds. The packet you sent first was empty. The new seeds arrived and have been planted. Everything is now in order. Your service matches your quality and variety. Keep up the good work!...Cheryl, April 2008" "I just want to say that the germination rates for the seeds I ordered have been amazing. Better than anyone else's by far...Thank you very much. Fall garden order coming soon!...Laurie, April 2008" "I am very happy with your products. I purchased two types of the broccoli raab, eggplant, and bush beans. In three days the broccoli came up, I couldn't believe it. I have purchased seed from [another seed company] and did not have any luck. Also, thanks for having the broccoli raab. It is so hard to find and it is my favorite vegetable. If more people try it I think it would be a great seller...they just don't know what they are missing. Thanks again...Mike, April 2008"

"...I found your website this afternoon and think it's absolutely wonderful! There are types of tomatoes I've never heard of and tons of other veggie-types I've never tried. Also, the seed prices are just great!...Marilyn, July 2008" "I love Gourmet Seed and will be placing my fall order sometime late this month. I have been very happy with this and my previous orders...now that I know about Gourmet Seed, I wouldn't want to do without you. I love your products and packaging as i am a small specialty market gardener. You have what is in demand in the specialty market...Roxanne, August 2008"
