I've ordered from Baker Creek/rareseeds.com for years, outstanding selection, outstanding seed quality.

But I was delighted this summer to find out one of the coolest things of all about Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Their owner is into alternative politics! The owner of Baker Creek seeds had a booth at the 'Rally For the Republic' last month, featuring Ron Paul, Jesse Ventura, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, conspiracy theorists, all kinds of freaks. And Baker Creek was there. Giving away free seed packs to the motley masses no less!

Alot of these heirloom seed companies have a conscience, but not many of them are going to travel hundreds of miles to set up a booth at some strange alternative political convention. In fact, none of them will, except Baker Creek!

I got to talk to the owner for a bit. Good guy. Young entreprenuer, looked to be in his late 20's-early 30's. He brought his wife and young baby with him to the rally.

Just the social conciousness and political correctness of Baker Creek, should make you consider them first when buying from a heirloom seed company. I know their appearance at the 'Rally For the Republic' made me feel that way. When it all hits the fan, and it's game on, Baker Creek is gonna be on the right side.
