Where do you buy your organic seeds?
I'm looking for pretty standard stuff - tomatoes, peppers, squash, lettuces and beans. I can't spend a fortune but want good quality seed. Any suggestions?

2. There are a variety of places where you can buy them.... Seed Savers
Johnny's, Burpees, etc. Just go to their websites and search for organic seeds. I've had good luck with each of the ones mentioned above.

5. For "our" part of the country: Harris and Johnny's
Harris is definitely cheaper:

8. Fedco Seeds cooperative
fedcoseeds.com worker owned cooperative I have ordered seeds from them for years with very few problems and the price is right.

We are a cooperative, one of the few seed companies so organized in the United States. Because we do not have an individual owner or beneficiary, profit is not our primary goal. Consumers own 60% of the cooperative and worker members 40%. Consumer and worker members share proportionately in the cooperative’s profits through our annual patronage dividends.

Our cooperative structure gives workers a real voice in running the company and a real stake in its success, enabling us to attract and retain talented workers. Year after year our staff turnover has been very low.

Our company culture derives from our history as a cooperative. Our first customers were other cooperatives and we developed many of our procedures specifically to serve them. Although we have diversified, a significant proportion of our business still comes from cooperative or group orders. Our dedicated group order coordinators are partners in our business. We encourage you to make cooperation work for you by forming ordering groups to take advantage of our generous volume discounts. It is easy to form a group: get together with friends, neighbors, co-workers or other members of your club, grange, county or state organic chapter, church or coop.

Cheerio!
Agony

13. The old way is just dry the seeds from what you just harvested ...
and plant those seeds the next year. I used to do it and that's how you do it. Dry the seeds really good and keep in the fridge until the next spring is how I did it.

Now I sound like a really old fart, eh?
