Ron, I can't guess what the problem is with your order but I am sure Brad and family will try to put it right if you communicate with them - they were very helpful to me.

I ordered from WBF this year and the service was excellent - when I emailed a question they answered, and when I ordered some packets of seed they were delivered promptly.

Ron, That is unfortunate, and unlike Brad & Janet. Did you try calling and leaving a message? 707-320-9368.

I got mine very quickly just recently also. I hope your problem with them gets sorted out.

Ron,

This is not good news!

Were you able to contact them? I'd worry if the order somehow got lost, possibly in the mail...

I got my Nov 5 order on Nov 17. That is fine by me. You might want to check that they did receive the order.

The orders I placed on 11/4 and 11/8 arrived on 11/19 in great shape.
My guess is Brad and Family are extremely busy doing other stuff at this time and
they are slow to read any e-mails they receive.
Sounds like your order was lost in the shuffle and maybe a phone call is in order.

Ron, I know Brad to be a very upstanding guy and I'm certain that something went amiss with your order. He's always shipped my seeds in a timely manner and as others have said, theirs too.

I too have heard nothing but good things about WBF and Brad, however I have sent at least three emails to WBF and the seed purchasing site listed on this web site under seed sources. I also sent a PM to Brad under ferral tomatoes and have not received any communication from them at all. Yes something apparently did go wrong but no one seems to care. I have plenty of varieties to trial next year without the WBF varieties. I will not badmouth anyone on a website but will be more selective where I spend the few dollars that I do spend for seeds each year.
I am not POed but exhausted from the effort required for a few seeds. This will be my last post on the subject.

Yes i grew 2 plants this year, very sweet, loaded with water also. So when they are ripe they are very soft, so i used them for sauce.so sweet. the fruit grew on the center stem because there is 2 beside each and 6 sets or more. very heavy as a set, I used 1 strong 6 ft pole, never let any new stems grow other than 1. Perfect plants Pink sweet Carneros

This year was my first order to Wild Boar Farms and I received my seeds very quickly. I can't wait to grow them this year! Ordered 2/15, received 2/19.

Ordered BTD seeds from them earlier this year for next season. Got a fast response the next day that they were shipped. 10 days later they still didn't arrive. I e-mailed them about it, and said a mistake had been made, and they were in my mail box about 3 days later. The response to the e-mail was quick, and I was very happy with what I received. Can't wait to try them next year.

I just ordered two packs of seeds for next year; their shipping is very fair. One week after I ordered, the seeds arrived, in great condition, and there were at least twice as many seeds of each variety as I ordered. They get my two thumbs up.
