I’m rather surprised by the nominees in this category. I haven’t heard of three of the five. Park and Johnny’s are the familiar names. Where are some of the bigger seed catelogs like Harris, Burpee, Thompson & Morgan or Stokes? Hmm…
These are the 5 catalogs that received the most nominations. I guess you didn’t participate during the nomination phase.
Thompson and Morgan had a big seed scandal, and Harris and Burpee don’t guarantee non-gmo, nor do they sell large amounts of open pollinated or organic seed. Zeitgeist doesn’t care how big your business is.
Give Baker Creek Heirloom a look. Was so happy w catalog doin my whole garden this year w there seeds. So many choices im expanding my garden twice as big as last year;)
Take a look at Territorial Seeds. Their catalog is fabulous (available online) and their service is great. Here in the Pacific Northwest, they’re the go-to seed provider.
Territorial Seeds in Oregon is our Go To company. Responsible, ethical, non-GMO, customer service is a 12+, tried and true for 29 years. Plus a one year guarantee on all their products.
I have purchased from Territorial Seed since they began and have always has great success with all that I have received–both seeds and garlic and potatoes. When other plants from other companies didn’t do well here in the Pacific Northwest, theirs did. Their catalogue is excellent and huge! I can find all the open-pollinated varities I want and trust the seed to produce well. I don’t grow and hybrids.They also sell any natural fertilizers and other products that I may need. They also sell a wide variety of how-to books if they are needed.
I shopped all Heirloom and organic catalogs and these are my top 5 for sure. Any advid gardener looking for the best in organic and unique fruits and veggies will shop Baker Creek first. they also offer so much more check out their book and their little village… so much to offer…. Territorial offers potatoes, all colors too…
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Catalog ROCKS !!!
Baker Creeks catalog is gorgeous! It is so much more than a seed catalog! It is full of valuable info and has beautiful pictures throughout. No other seed catalog compares to the beauty of the Baker Creek catalog.
Received Baker Heirloom seed catalog this year. Was so impressed with all the info in it. It was the first seed order this year. Looking forward to planting the seeds. They have my favorite tomatoes, Prudens purple and Arkansas Traveler. Trying Black cherry and morning sun. I also an faithful to Johnny’s and to Parks for my flower seeds.
Give Baker Creek seeds a chance if you haven’t already. Their full-color, glossy catalog is worth it just for the pictures. You will see plants from all over the world. I’ve seen plants in their catalog I had no idea existed.
Very educational for the kids, too. Many kids have never seen pink tomatoes, yellow radishes, blue melons, white bell peppers or purple and green string beans. The variations seem endless, and remind people that nature is incredibly diverse, and veggies need not be limited to the few green and orange varieties we always see in the grocery store.
Baker Creek is so much more than a catalog. My grandson has spent hours looking through it. The recipes are delicious and the photography awesome! Can’t wait to get out seeds!
Baker Creek is the first place I look for anything veggie or flower. I love the selection, the website and the causes that BC participates and contributes to…
Baker Creek has the most amazing catalog ever! The photos are awesome, it’s also very informative and the selection of seeds availble is so much better than any other company.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds have the most beautiful catalog with the best prices I have seen anywhere! Gorgeous photos, incredible selection!
Some of the companies listed are not known to guarantee being Non GMO. I believe one is /was owned by big oil. It is unfortunate that more people are not familiar with the smaller companies like High Mowing Organic Seed in Vermont (organic and non GMO, to use as an example). Get out there growers and do some research.
I’m sure there is fine work behind all these great seed companies. I would like to encourage votes to Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. Great work to support the healthful food movement, seed saving, anti-GMO and history preservation.
We’ve ordered and started their seeds this year for a charity urban garden to feed families trying to make ends meet. We’re pleased as punch with the performace of their seeds and look forward to the smiling faces of families we give the food to.
Go Baker Creek!

The Baker Creek catalogue is a work of art! I can’t say enough for it. I can’t throw them away. Too pretty!
