Stoner seed co

With many places selling seeds for more than four dollars a pack, I am always happy to find somewhere that still sells at two dollars or less. They also have occasional “half price” sales where everything is a dollar. If there is something obviously wrong when I get my seeds I will update the thread.

This is refreshing to see. Their seed count is great too. I hope that you get good results from the seed. Let us know so that if they are good I can add them to the preferred vendor list.

What a strange name for a seed company.

They look new. Nice selection of carrots.
I clicked on Home Page but it defaults to the vegetable seed catalogue. Nothing in Herbs or Flowers yet.
Wonder where they are located.
I also shop at some lower priced places from time to time - mostly they are larger, old enterprises with a basic stock of good varieties that stood the test of time and a sprinkle of new or heirlooms. Thinking of McKenzie in Canada and our local vendor Gaze Seeds. McKenzie have been growing seeds for .. since 1896 holy cow. Suffice to say they have it all figured out. Gaze are not growing seed but have long standing supply chain, packaging, etc. and sell lots of generic vegs and flowers seed.
In the States I've shopped at Tradewinds Fruit and they were great - seed count, quality, price all very good. Reasonable shipping and fast service. I see their prices are creeping up like most everyone's, with a $4 pack here and there, but still lots of low prices and a pretty large selection. They sell exotic tree seeds as well which are solidly priced.

OTOH smaller vendors where I shop are going up from $4 to $5 packets. Their costs are up.

I know. I was excited there for a second. But it looks like they don't sell those type of seeds.

I’ve found Pinetree and Holmes to have the best prices. Also sometimes Harris surprises me - got a packet of hot wax pepper seeds for something like $1.25 a couple of months ago. But other things they only sell in larger, commercial sized seed counts, so it’s a little unpredictable.

Looks like it's the owner's last name. She's also an attorney in Missouri and started the company about 4-5 years ago, according to her fb page.

I knew a guy once with that last name.

I hadn't ordered from Eden Brothers before, but needed one hybrid that was out at Totally Tomatoes (for our master gardener seedling sale), and Eden was the only place that had it for a reasonable quantity and price. I was pleasantly surprised to discover shipping for that one pack of seeds was 99 cents!

The seeds have arrived. They come in little dime bags with the variety name, germination rate, lot number, and year on them and all the seeds look correct

Guy that designed the m16 rifle, other than that, not super common. I've never known anyone personally with the name Stoner. But it didn't have any off meaning until the last 50 years.
But in this case, selling seeds, I can see using the name for the extra hits for the website...
I will check it out.
