Got strawberry plants from them this spring and they are doing great. Picked blossoms from the everbearers for six weeks as directed and now are picking a few ripe berries. With all this rain, strawberries are the only thing looking great. The berry plants were less than half what Burpee and Parks were charging. They have great prices on seeds needed in larger quantities. I plant a lot of beets for beet greens and pickled beets. There again, in the quantity that I buy, I pay half what other companies charge. Have experienced some problems germinating green beans, but it could be my cold clay soil. They are a C0-0p buying from local farmers and I know some of the farmers growing for them.

We have a Common Ground Fair here every year. It is mostly Greenies or Hippies as we call them here, Fedco has a booth and sells left over seeds at ridiculously low prices. If I can manage to get to the fair, I go just for the Fedco seeds as they are very viable the following spring. They go fast at those prices, so I plan to arrive early and head immediately for the Fedco booth,
