Hi, this rings a bell but I can't bring it to mind. I have looked them up on Watchdog, they are there but have no commets, neither positive, negative or neutral. I have had a good look at their catalogue and could not find anything to tell me how many seeds to a packet. I have emailed them through Watchdog and will get back to you XX Jeannine

   Hadn't heard of them but they seem an interesting and well intentioned bunch.


   re their seed catalogue,  If you keep following your choice through (click it , then its picture )
you will get a  stated seed count.

They've been some places too....   Ferme de Sainte Marthe    is just one if them.

It is American from what I can make out and we have got  similar things here in the UK

I can not locate the site I want which I know you join as a club and they then send out free unregistered seeds to members. It just gets round selling them because they can't.

I have found something similar

I know what you mean it is  in  fact to get away from the list that prevents the old seeds being sold. I was one ages ago where membership was a penny,then as a member the rules for seeds are different  to members of a club and they can sell seeds I will try and find it.XX Jeanni ne
