Heirloom seeds in bulk

[rojeo]

Someone posted recently that they had a good source of bulk heirloom seeds. I can't find the original post (I think it was in a thread that got deleted). If you posted that or if you know of a good source, please let me know.

Thank you!

Google Seed Savers Exchange. There are so many members, some of them must be able to supply bulk quantities.

Wow, Emma, thanks for that info. What an awesome site.

That was me! :0)

Here's a list of some:

Survivalist Seeds (http://"http://www.survivalistseeds.com/").

Also, I just wanted to point out that you can also buy seeds for a pretty good deal on Ebay as well. :0) You can find some unique stuff on there as well, if you are the adventurous type & like some variety in your diet. :0)

I also bought some Goose Creek tomato seeds from this person: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130311077763 (it's a rare tomato that was brought over by slaves and handed down from generation to generation)...

here's one that's got 70 different varieties of heirloom fruits & veggies for sale (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130315506021)

this one's got 22,000 cool climate/fall harvest heirloom vegetable seeds for sale for 70.00 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=200349552991)

there's all kinds of people popping up on ebay all the time. :)

no problem! :D

i just realized that some of the ebay auctions i listed are old, so they won't come up, but the sellers still sell stuff on there, if you can look them up. :) i especially like the tomatoseedlady (tabitha) cause she has so much variety. :) there's one that i forgot.. it's sand hill preservation center (http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/) they also sell chickens and stuff like that for people that eat meat (or want fresh meat for their own animals).. they have a HUGE selection of sweet potatoes from all over the world, as well as a lot of specialty/novelty stuff, like toothache plant and wasabi sprouts. :0)

A place that I have found to be good and they are really nice to is:

http://www.drtomato.com

[Heirloom Seeds]

That's a very nice list of heirloom seeds. I love maintaining my garden with these heirloom seeds especially when preserving a gene which is centuries old.. it's really exciting.

[heirloomseeds]

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I love to collect heirloom seeds too. Apart from it's uniqueness it's also a good source of income since the price of heirloom seeds is also unique. Nice links!

[Desert Marine]

Hands down (IMHO) the best source for Heirloom Seeds (http://www.myheirloomseeds.com). As was previously mentioned by iwuvmydoggy in here post. You get over 15,000 Non GMO, open pollinated heirloom seeds and 26 different varieties for less than $50. Check them out because they running a special for Active Duty and Military Veterans thru Thanksgiving.

[MysticTree]

I know this is an old thread but you can grow your own heirloom seeds once you get started and for those in the UK the Doubleday research people are worth looking at.
