In the past couple of years, we have become 100% converts of Baker Creek! From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU for preserving farmers' right to save seeds!
I have fallen in love with bakers creek seeds over the last couple years. So excited for every order to be delivered. It quickly becomes a passion or obsession. I guess if a person is going to collect something, there's nothing more useful and important than seeds.
Such an incredible company. It amazes me how down to earth and REAL they remain with as huge as his little hobby has become. Im excited and proud to say i grow baker seeds. I always will :)
I have to comment again, because someone pointed out that you never mentioned all the wonderful things you do to give back & support the community.. I was so excited about your video, I hadn't even thought of that. So... Thank You for all the wonderful ways you have been showing support in the community of Homesteaders! You have really out done yourselves! What you are building out there is noticed by thousands & thousands of people. I have been noticing you for a very long time through those many kindnesses.
We quadrupled our garden space at the end of last year. Baker Creek has blessed us tremendously with the new seeds to fill the space. People are awed when they look around at the different heirlooms because they've never seen stuff like this in a store. I am so grateful for this company all who make it work. Blessings.
The comment section is not big enough for all the wonderful things I want to say about this company and it’s people. You are creating a movement and idk about everyone else but may I say I VOTE FOR JERE GETTLE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
This was the first seed catalog company I ordered from when I began my journey in the garden. The first time I saw my tomato seedlings come up, tastes a home grown tomato I was hooked. And the catalogs are gorgeous. Didn't know there was so many types of fruits and vegetables. Thank you for making a city girl go play in the the dirt.
Started getting your catalog in the early 2000's long before you met Emily. Always look forward to it every year to see what new, strange, unique & rare things you offer. As well, I always look forward to reading about your story & seeing whats new w/ your family - like the year your 1st little girl was born to the last little 1 you adopted! I find your success story inspirational & the old seeds you search out worldwide intriguing!!! Blessings to you & your family!👩🏻🌾❤🙏🥕🍅🌽🥦🌶🥒
Got my seeds the other day..took a long time to the Netherlands...planted then out immediately....can't wait to find out the results...thanks for doing such great work
I'm happy for you, I know how you feel! It took forever for mine to get to Sweden. I was so scared my precious Montana Cudu Corn and Gete Okosomin would get burned by the customs and border patrol... But they arrived in my mailbox a week ago!
@@liltalent2381 I had a big order..and they worked pretty well, this year I ordered the Japanese glutinous corn amongst other stuff..so happy with that..sprouting them now for this week planting..excited
strawberries1411 cool. Today I’m going to make an order for some seeds from them. I haven’t really fully seen all of there stuff but I got my eye on a few specifics. What zone are you in?
@@liltalent2381 don't know the zone..Im from the Netherlands..we have seasons..not too cold nor too hot..I looked it up and one site indicated 8a/8b..I hope it helps Not all the seeds are suitable I guess but I love to try either outside or in my greenhouse..success
I ordered my first veggie seeds from Baker Creek years ago when I start learning how to garden. I was impressed by the beautiful catalog cover and the amazing pictures inside. Of course tomatoes were my first purchase and I took pictures of the first crop. I was hooked and haven't looked back. Thanks for creating such a beautiful catalog.
Glad to see they are getting the recognition that they deserve, I've ordered quite a bit of our current seed stock from them over the last 8 or 9 years; been saving some of the best seeds to plant for the next year and any extra as gifts to my friends and family... Jere and Baker Creek are great gift at a time when biodiversity across the globe is under such a great threat from corporate greed
my feelings of gratitude towards gere and his family and company have been about 15 years. i treasure the whole seed catalogues and the stories of amazingly dedicated seed collecters /growers working with gere. i have been growing 0ver (90% heirlooms for 40 years and finding baker creek was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! id lost a rented half acre , and am now reduced to a packed small balcony + small front porch they are beautifull ,herbs, fruit, vegies +flowers!
Heard about your company from Hollar Homestead. I was amazed at how all the seeds in the seed packets germinated. Bought $400 more seeds yesterday. I'm hooked.
The Earth is being restored to the glory that was first created through these good people and others like them. Soul lifting story, thank you so much for sharing!
The day I discovered Baker Creek was a blessing. I have become an organic heirloom gardener and every year my garden gets bigger. There are so many things I want to grow. I now raise most of my food which has kept me healthy. Thank you for providing us with such good quality seeds and plants. I have introduced people to Baker Creek by giving them the free seed packets you send when I order. Sometimes I will keep a packet to try new varieties but often I share. I want everyone to know about Baker Creek so they can have great gardens too.
My cousin and I had a fantastic two days at the Spring festival. Our first, but not our last. We hope to make this event an annual event. My husband and I are building our first backyard garden. I had ordered many seed, and now have several fruit plants bought at the festival. Thank you for putting on such a memorable event. 💚🌱
Right place... right time... and fueled by passion! Love the Baker Creek story! The Gettle family touches the lives of so many people -- not just with nutritious food, but also with kindness, generosity, and philanthropic endeavors. (👍#489 and comment #56). Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 5/14/2019.
I really enjoyed this TH-cam video. I am well aware of Baker Creek seeds especially through roots and refuge and also other TH-cam channels. I’m glad you made the video so I know the history. I assumed it was a family business that had started a long time ago - not realizing the originator had started so young and was still in charge of the business!
Great video! I found a Baker Creek seed catalog while cleaning bleachers after a basketball game. I thought the varieties were interesting and took it home. A couple years later, I'm sprouting Chocolate WHITE EDGED Morning Glories from my few remaining seeds from last year, hoping to breed them because they go together so well with Moonflower. Just got Purple Lady Bok Choy sprouting now too. Your displays and seed "bank" are awesome!
hey Jere, i am proud of you. What you have do is a miracle. Wonderfull seeds for save the world from monoculture. I shall try to have your catalogue. I am from Belgium, other climate but................i try , again and again. Congratulations.
I never thought heirloom seeds could have so many varieties in my life. before I learned about baker creek I thought the only heirloom tomatoes are the only the ones with the ridge's on the sides. now I know the almost endless posibilities for heirlooms. Now I only buy my seeds from baker creek.🌱
Thank you Jere.....couldn't happen to a better human being! What you have created is nothing short of phenomenal. May you continue to grow......and thank you Grandma!
Love this story, very inspiring, I tried to buy a lot of baker creek seeds but they weren’t allowed into NZ. You even donated me a lot of seeds but I never got them unfortunately, they were stopped at the border. I was hoping to gift away plants in my community..
Thank you for sharing these treasured seeds with us. I look around my garden and see pumpkins from France, tomatoes from Japan, Russia, and Germany, kale from Italy, Cucumbers from Uzbekistan, and melons from the southern US. My garden is like an international passport to the world. 🌸Michele
Please keep making more videos...I love them! One day im gonna get over my major fear of flying and come to the expo or spring festival but until them I watch your videos and explore the catalogue which is a work of art and a fount of information and stories all on it's own. Thank you for being more interested in the seeds and their stories than the almighty $$$...that's hard to find these days!
Thank you for this wonderful video and also a tribute to starting a small business and turning the business into a huge success !! Without dreams in life in regards to future aspirations , we have nothing !
I have discovered some wonderful veg varieties ordering from you over the years, especially tomatoes. Thanks for being there and supporting farmsteads❤️👍
If you're looking to open another seed store in the future...my city (Michigan) would be perfect! Our beautiful historical downtown would be a perfect fit. Plus I know a great person you could employ there. ;-)
I love your seed, the varieties, the beautiful colored packets, and most of all the free shipping. Your story is inspiring . I get excited to get new seed from your company. I think gardening 👩🌾 gets in your blood and like yourself it starts early. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I've been ordering your seeds for years and still love them as much as ever. Your customer service is excellent, as well as your seeds and selection, and that catalog? A work of art, just like my handmade tiles that I ship globally. From one successful entrepreneur to another; you rock!
My love of gardening and learning about different types of plants and ways of growing started when I was 4 years old and my father was stationed in North Carolina for a few years. He planted a small garden and shared in a community garden plot. Then we stopped by my grandparents farm for a while in Alabama on our way to CA.
Ive loved you for years. I wish yall did more organic seed supplies for commercial growers. As a home buyer too, i love the crazy varieties. Ive saved my seeds for years just from one season from yall. I love trying new things too. Keep going. Yall are on the level of seed savers. Love from north Florida. Covid really showed everyone how unreliable the food system is in the US. People realized they need to grow their own.
What a fantastic story. Congratulations Jare and family on your successes. Thank you for offering such quality seeds and being a great company/way of life.
I just bought a small collection of seeds from y'all this year to start really saving and preserving my own seeds. Most of my seedlings have started to sprout and I am so excited to get growing this year. I got so many beautiful flowers and unique vegetable varieties. Our garden is going to be abundant and glorious this season. Thank you for the seeds and the extra varieties y'all sent in my order to try out for free. Bless y'all and your mission. I'm in.
Great seeds and Baker Creek is an awesome place to visit. The amount of seeds available is crazy good, and little restaurant onsite is an amazing culinary experience.
Even more happy to know who I’ve ordered seeds from now. What an inspiring story! This is a very impressive seed company especially for organic heirloom seeds. Thanks Jared!
Bet they blew their sales record 3 times over this year! Good for them. Absolutely love this company. Other than my bulk cop seed, I now buy everything from them.
Great story ! This strikes me as a classy family...and Baker Creek has become my favorite seed catalog & seed company, there there are a few terrific ones I order from. Their informative video's are terrific as well. Baker Creek is making a wonderful impact here in the US & the World.
I'll add that one thing I really like are their seed packets. Most of them have photos and there is individual information about the vegetable or flower.. Something to look at and dream! Packets from other seed companies tend to have only generic info and no photos.
I really enjoyed this video ! I worked on a Heirloom corn for several years before it got crossed by the farmers GMO corn . It was called Boone County White .
So far, so good. We are in an isolated little pocket and do NOT have any GMO corn growing around us. In 2019, I am growing out an extremely rare variety called "Pawnee Eagle". Seeds will be saved and SHARED!
Yes, you are correct! The kernels are white and the "Eagle" image is purple. I am not Native American; but when the seeds arrived, they evoked some very STRONG emotions in me for what these seeds mean to the Pawnee -- got choked up and it was hard fighting back the tears. It is important to protect seed varieties from becoming extinct... so I love Baker Creek for the active role they take in seed preservation. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA
That's awesome! You guys rock keep up the good work bringing these varieties to the world so they dont get forgotten we have the dickenson pumpkins and hopi turquoise corn so beautiful we love them take care and keep in good health
Such an excellent short video! Thank you for this. Y'all are an inspiration for sure, and we love it more and more with every seed we plant and every time we get to visit! Thanks again!
Gardening was my first love as well. Back in the 70s when I was a little kid i would save all my pennies and bring them to the local hardware shop where they called me " The penny kid"😂. He'd take all my pennies and I would get packs of seeds. I still remember i planted carrots and was so excited when they sprouted. I couldn't believe a carrot could be made underground and you feel like you did it.
In the past couple of years, we have become 100% converts of Baker Creek! From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU for preserving farmers' right to save seeds!
Every pack of seeds I've bought from Baker Creek have been Excellent!
Love them! And the free shipping
Yes.
TH-cam should make channels able to individually notify.
I have fallen in love with bakers creek seeds over the last couple years. So excited for every order to be delivered. It quickly becomes a passion or obsession. I guess if a person is going to collect something, there's nothing more useful and important than seeds.
Baker Creek seeds have changed the world and created a movement!!! Amazing Story!!!
The Lord provides. So grateful for Baker Creek. Thank them for preserving heirloom seeds and various ways of agricultural life.
Yes. *** Baker Creek seeds have changed the world and created a movement to restore and save ancient seeds!!! Amazing. Greetings from Russia
Wow! You have now seen people rethink their food supply twice in your lifetime (2000 & Now). Love your passion. Thank you so much for going for it!

I have been to Baker Creek and it is my idea of heaven. Seeds are excellent, catalogs are a work of art. He has transformed people’s lives.

I bought from you guys about 8 years ago. Where I stored my seeds flooded and I lost my entire collection. I will be rebuilding with you.
The comment section is not big enough for all the wonderful things I want to say about this company and it’s people. You are creating a movement and idk about everyone else but may I say
I VOTE FOR JERE GETTLE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
AMEN!!! AMEN!!!
how lucky we are to have this man and family sharing their seeds with us

Amazing. What a passion.😊
I saw Laura from Garden Answer ordered some interesting seeds so I decided to check out Baker Creek! I’m glad I did. I will be ordering some as well!
Great story ! This strikes me as a classy family...and Baker Creek has become my favorite seed catalog & seed company, there there are a few terrific ones I order from. Their informative video's are terrific as well. Baker Creek is making a wonderful impact here in the US & the World.
You are loved. You are blessed. You are awesome.
I love Baker Creek Seeds.
I'll add that one thing I really like are their seed packets. Most of them have photos and there is individual information about the vegetable or flower.. Something to look at and dream! Packets from other seed companies tend to have only generic info and no photos.
Proud to support this company. Love it, so wholesome

@@TalkingThreadsMedia that's awesome ! I have heard of Pawnee Eagle the kernels got what looks like a eagle in them if i'm not mistaken .
Yes, you are correct! The kernels are white and the "Eagle" image is purple. I am not Native American; but when the seeds arrived, they evoked some very STRONG emotions in me for what these seeds mean to the Pawnee -- got choked up and it was hard fighting back the tears. It is important to protect seed varieties from becoming extinct... so I love Baker Creek for the active role they take in seed preservation. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA
@@TalkingThreadsMedia I agree with 100%
Thank you for both your quality service and your community service as well.
Rob
You’re a good man! Thank you for your mission to save the diversity and humanity!
That's awesome! You guys rock keep up the good work bringing these varieties to the world so they dont get forgotten we have the dickenson pumpkins and hopi turquoise corn so beautiful we love them take care and keep in good health
love this company, i feel like the stories of the seeds are as important as the seeds themselves
Got about 50 packs for this year.
I love you guys.
Beautiful story! I ordered seeds from you all this year and am so excited to see them grow!
Such an excellent short video! Thank you for this. Y'all are an inspiration for sure, and we love it more and more with every seed we plant and every time we get to visit! Thanks again!
