May 22, 2009 | Two of my plants appeared very wilted when I received them, but, since it's late in the season, and getting warmer, that may be the reason why, so it's not a deal-breaker. What does concern me is their substitution policy: yes, I knew, from the terms posted on their website that I could expect "similar substitutions" [which is what I specified in my order, anyway], but, IMHO, a 63-day, early season, red ruffled tomato, of a well-known variety, is not very much like an "Abundant Acres Introduction" 85-day, late season, oxheart. Depending on what I hear back, I probably will order again, but I will do it much earlier in the season, and I will very carefully specify what substitutes I find acceptable.
On May 23rd, 2009, magnaastra changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:
The owner promptly contacted me, offering to replace any and all of the above-mentioned plants, including the questionable substitute. The two wilted plants have since perked up, and I'm going to keep the Red Wolf susbtitute plant, so I won't be need the replacements. The customer service here is just top of the line. I'll definitely order again! | | Positive | Psketty

May 18, 2009 | This is my second year to order from this company. They carry a variety of heirloom and hard-to-find vegetables and herbs. My orders have included tomatoes, sweet peppers and herbs. The plants are well packaged for shipping and have thrived in my garden. The communications from and with this company are timely. The owners are interested in having satisfied customers. I look forward to doing future business with this company. | | Positive | yehudith

June 05, 2008 | I'm tickled with this company and will have no hesitation in ordering from them again.
First of all they have an extensive list of not only heirloom seeds but plants/seedlings as well. I ordered their seedlings. Well I must admit they were late but they had e-mailed me and let me know that they were going to be late because of the wheather. They then sent another E-mail on the day they were sent. When they came and I opened the boxes, well... To say the least I was over whelmed. The packaging was a thing of beauty. Each plant was in its own little pot, The pot and plant were wrapped in a cardboard sleeve. All of the sleeves were tightly taped together and wedged perfectly in the box so there was no shifting and then covered with cushioning. On each sleeve was taped a good, ledgible, large plant marker to use in the garden. Once I'd gotten the sleeves off they had covered the soil in the pot so not a crumb had fallen out. The plants themselves were perky little things with not one broken or wilted leaf that were screaming to get in the soil and get growing. When I pulled the out of the pots, oh the roots, the roots! Not one was brown or bound. They also included well written ledgible instructions for planting as well as a detailed invoice.
Again I am well pleased and they are on my permanent supplier list.

Just a quick update. all the plants thrived beautifully and I'm now harvesting the last of the best tomatoes I've ever grown.
Thank you Abundant Acres and see you again next spring. |
