Hi, what is happening out there, I know Starks bros. are no longer in business, where are we going to get our seeds, If there all going under, I have been getting some of my seeds from jungs and burpee. I think we are in for some really hard times. God bless Irene

Hi Cindy, I have just recently (within the last week or so) ordered some seed catalogs online from the following companies. Here are the website addys... www.johnnyseeds.com www.burpee.com www.vermontbean.com www.stokeseeds.com and you can visit a bunch of other sites at www.yearoundgardener.com Hope this helps. :-D

hmm, i did not get a catalogue for bethleham seeds, & no more web site,did they die or move? i order several basic root crops & greens from them.so let me know if you have contact info for them! My personal favorites that are still alive: whilhite seeds[tx], cooks garden[vt], shepards seeds[vt], pinetree garden seeds[me], evergreen seeds [ca],kitazawa seed co [ca], territorial seed co[ca/or?], vermont bean seed co [duh], berlin seeds[oh?], my ab fab is currently....BAKER CREEK SEED CO. [ www.rareseeds.com ], they have cheeaap homesteader packs, all non-gmo seeds,heirlooms, massive selection & high germ rate for the lowest prices too![nope i don't get a kick back!:}] Hey weren't gurney & fields by the same co? i always thought they were a lot of hype for inferior seeds & amounts. For bareroot fruit nut & trees try www.raintreenursery.com [wa] marvelous selection decent prices. All they have sent have shipped well even this far south!

I like Hope Seeds, Terra Edibles, and Mapple Farm. All open pollinated seed and many heirlooms and they are all Canadian.

Okay, here it is. I have a friend in the business, and according to her the parent company to Stark and several other catalogs (a total of 6, I can't remember all of the names) has declared bankruptcy. Apparently they have been sold to a different company, though, and will all be published later in the year; probably mailed December to February. If you have any questions, you can go to zedmarketing.com and e-mail them with questions. They have connections to a lot of the seed companies, including Stark, Jungs and Vermont Bean and Seed. Good luck!
