| Positive | OrganicOhio Columbus, OH (Zone 5b) (3 reviews) February 20, 2009 | During winter, I ordered over $100 in seeds from this company. I did it over the internet. All of my seeds arrived, except the Brandywine Tomatoes which were back ordered, safe and sound. The seed potato will be shipped in April and the packing slip clearly stated such. I have spoken to them on the phone prior to the order and they were VERY friendly. I love this company so far. Their web site and their catalog are a fabulous resource for a newer gardener like me! |
| Positive | bears15 Silver Creek, NE (9 reviews) November 25, 2008 | I ordered from High Mowing this fall. Their customer service is fantastic. They were out of an item and personally called me. Then they sent an email the day the seeds were shipped. Very fast shipping...I can say one thing negative or even neutral...it;s all positive...I am definitely going back, about to place another order.
Wonderful...highly recommend. |
| Positive | naturalost Conklin, NY (1 review) May 07, 2008 | Have been ordering from them for several years now. They have all organic products, fast service, good germination rates. There are many good seed companies but I especially like High Mowing since they are from the same northeast US area as myself. It is easier to find plants that do well for them that also do well for me.
Highly recommended!

| Positive | lisaoliver Foristell, MO (Zone 5b) (3 reviews) March 09, 2007 | I have ordered from this co. two years in a row now and have been VERY pleased. My order was received within four days of on-line placement. In 2006 the vegetable seeds I ordered from them faired better than any of the others I planted and ALL their seeds are organic. If you do order anything from them please try the Matt's wild tomatoes. They are wonderful and in my first year bed still more clay than soil, a month of over 100 degree temps and no rain we still had more than enough from just two plants. |

| Positive | willowman Kingsport, TN (4 reviews) March 26, 2006 | One of the HMS packets I recently bought at a retail display was empty. After I sent them a note complaining, they really went out of their way to make it up to me (and they were sucessful in doing so). Their display had a lot of stuff I haven't seen before, and I look forward to ordering from them directly in the future.They seem like good folks. |
| Positive | northwds Northern, MN (Zone 4a) (1 review) March 14, 2006 | Have received my correct seed order in a timely manner. I have ordered from HMS in the past and have had no problems. Notice was given in catalogue or on-line if a seed type was sold out or had production problems . Germination rates were great, even seed that was saved properly from past years. Seed saving information on packets and growing information in catalogues very helpful. Greatly appreciate the northern heirloom varieties. Cucurbits and tomatoes grew well in Zone 3 with cool summers.

| Positive | giardiniere58 Pittsburg, KS (Zone 6a) (3 reviews) March 14, 2006 | I didn't order seeds, but I did order seed flats from High Mowing Organic Seeds. I was impressed with their prompt service, and extremely impressed with their prices. In addition, shipping and handling was only $2.95, but it cost them more than twice that amount to send them USPS. High Mowing Organic Seeds is a first rate organization. |
| Positive | phossie False Pass, AK (1 review) February 08, 2006 | I met Tom back in Vermont in 2003 at a talk he gave on seed saving, which covered a lot of biology on the way. Great guy and totally dedicated to making the world a better place through responsible (and very enthusiastic) growing. High Mowing really is an amazing place. I learned a lot. That said, I didn't use their seed until last year while taking care of a remote homestead here in Alaska. My hunch that their northern-bred seed would do well here (Alaska Peninsula) turned out to be correct - it performed beautifully!
Seed arrived in time for planting despite large mail delays on my end (weather), I was notified of a seed shortage far in advance, and plants were great. Very highly recommended. |

| Positive | gponder Gold Hill, OR (7 reviews) April 29, 2004 | I am so happy to have found this source of certified organic seed. Wonderful selection, good prices, super fast delivery and the quality of seed seems to be great!! I also appreciate their online reference to grower source and organic certification agency which makes it very convenient for me when I'm filing my organic application. Nice and organized!!! What a find!! |
| Positive | sarafmc (1 review) March 06, 2004 | I ordered vegetable seed from this company in 2003 and was very impressed with the germination and the quality of the plants. I was also very impressed when I received a very polite and apologetic letter informing me (well in advance of the growing season) that they had run out of one variety of bean seed due to a crop failure. It recommended alternate varieties, but also alternate sources for the variety I had ordered. My refund, in small coins, had been taped to the letter with scotch tape. Talk about a personal touch. |
| Positive | Jeffreysarah Saint Paul, MN (Zone 4a) (2 reviews) February 29, 2004 | Organic & biodynamic seeds. Located in Vermont- great seeds for shorter growing seasons. I have ordered seeds the past 2 years from them and have not been disappointed. They also print seed saving instructions on their packets for the particular type of seed. Fast shipping too! I am impressed with this company. |
| Positive | BearHill50 (2 reviews) March 21, 2002 | Good locally-grown organic seeds, good service, good prices. |
| Positive | organicfarmerdrummer (1 review) February 06, 2002 | High quality seed. Concise desriptions of the varieties offered; when they state a variety is good for a short growing season, they mean it. These people care. Their "Early Red" bell pepper was the most productive and one of the most flavorful bells I've ever grown in zone 6. |
