Anyone bought from Mertie Mae Seeds?

Is anyone familiar with this place? My wife found the seeds on Etsy and wants to buy some, but would like to know if others have bought from them. They also sell on other places and through Seed Savers. Thanks

Is your Mertie Mae out of the Tomah, WI/Western WI area? If so, I have bought from Mertie Mae's for years, but not through Etsy. Mertie Mae's is often at the local farm markets and flea/craft markets. She sells a wide selection of transplants in spring, all heirlooms and all organically grown, every color of the rainbow. Best heirloom variety selection in the area. Not sure what she does with them, but they grow better than other hybrids I buy from the Amish or local greenhouses. It's like their on steroids, but in a good way. Then in summer she always has a lot of different veggies for sale depending on the time of the year. Always a wide variety of colors. Also sells homemade soaps and candles. We really like the lotion bar she makes. If its one and the same, it will be money well spent.
