Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Baker Creek (rareseeds.com) doesn't charge shipping, do that's nice. I suspect you don't get as many seeds per packet there, but I rarely use a whole packet anyway.
- Check out Baker Creek, Ferri Seeds, Eden Brothers, Cheapseeds, and Park Seed for variety and budget-friendly options.
- Parent context: Fascism is the collusion between corporate and government interests. Baker Creek is rather anti authoritarian from what I’ve gathered. I haven’t seen them identify with either major political party, but then again I don’t...
- Baker Creek. They have free shipping too!
- Baker creek is decent
Cons
- Baker creek is an exploitive company that invites men like Cliven Bundy to speak at their events.
- The germination rate is bad. Oh, and they are racists.
- Last year they tried to market norfolks purple tomato's as their own, and as organic, despite them being created using modified snapdragon DNA. Those two lies make me question what else they've lied about.
- The GMO Purple tomato scandal where they offered seeds for what was OBVIOUSLY the GMO Purple tomato, swore it had been tested and most definitely wasn't, got called out by the people who actually developed the GMO Purple tomato and then...
- False, this company has well-documented ties to the radical right

We grow cosmos from seed every year. I couldn’t imagine our garden without them. We buy one of each variety from Baker Creek and just sow them all over the place.
The GMO Purple tomato scandal where they offered seeds for what was OBVIOUSLY the GMO Purple tomato, swore it had been tested and most definitely wasn't, got called out by the people who actually developed the GMO Purple tomato and then suddenly had a story about how their grower was at fault and they had no idea that it was the same tomato.
