Just wanted to let you all know how terrific Ellie and Steve from Heritage Seed Market are. I placed a small order of about $18.70 (which included a reasonable shipping cost) with them, and Ellie e-mailed me to let me know that my order was shipped out that morning. However two weeks past and I never received it, so I e-mailed her. We both knew something happened to the order.
So she put together another package and sent it out to me Priority Mail, which cost $7.35 to send. I got the package in a few days. She had included several nice gift packages as well. The following day when I went to my mail box, there was the original envelope looking tattered and dirty from being who knows where. I emailed Ellie to let her know that now I have two packages, and that I just as soon keep both, and wanted to send her the money for the second order and reimburse her the $7.35 shipping cost for the Priority Mail. She wrote me back today, and said she talked with Steve and he said just to keep them and share some with friends. I did reimburse them the Priority shipping charges though. Now that is what I call great service and caring people who want to please. So if any of you haven't tried them yet, I urge you to do so. |

Ellie is a personal friend, and I want to say that what you wrote about her doesn't surprise me at all. She has so much integrity. I also know that all her seeds are heat treated to get very close to complete sterile so that she never passes on a seed borne virus or bacterium. Germination rates continue to be tested and are very high.
She, Steve, and Ted never sell anything that isn't verified OP either. |

I couldn't give them a higher recommendation as well. The micro dwarf tomatoes were delicious and Ellie also included a number of bonus seeds I look forward to trying in the coming years! Buy with confidence folks!

Thanks for the comments ![]() Ellie is a perfectionist (I'm sure you know) and does everything possible to distribute disease-free seed. However,I think she would want me to add that heat treatment does not guarantee 100% elimination of viroids or bacterium. The only seed treatment that will eliminate embryo and endosperm disease is the dry heat method, and, as far as I know, no small vendor uses this method. Steve |

No way, I appreciate your chiming in, especially this time of year when I have so little time to post. It's just that I will have to correct anything that is presented as our policy when it isn't our policy.
Thanks ![]() Steve |

"Right now I have restocked and newly listed 7 micro varieties. Just as soon as I can get their germ test results, I will also list these micros: Orange Hat; Andrina; Vilma; Hahms Gelb Topftomate; and Lille Lise…so five more micros. I have also listed 8 hanging basket varieties, with probably another 7 or so of those awaiting germ test and listing. Some of the hanging basket varieties are nearly as small as the micros. I grow them both in the same size hanging baskets." Also, I think she keeps her Facebook page updated when she has the time ![]() Bunny Hop Seeds Facebook page Thanks! Steve |
