Bountiful Gardens also carry a selection of organically grown
seeds--but don't claim 100% of their stock as organic. To
quote their catalog: "We are frequently asked if our seed is
organic--some is, but we cannot claim that all is organic,
strictly speaking...If it is legally organic, or better yet
bioitensive, it will be noted."
Their address is:
Bountiful Gardens Seeds
18001 Shafer Ranch Road, Willits CA 95490
Their main catalog offers some unusual items, such as sea kale
and red brussels sprouts.
They also publish a separate rare seeds supplement, which costs
$2.00.
