Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Collection Giveaway

Glass Gem Corn from www.rareseeds.com

To continue our series of seed giveaways, we’re thrilled to offer a giveaway from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. It is always such a delight when their catalog arrives in the mail – it is absolutely stunning! Baker Creek prides themselves on having rare varieties with great flavor and nutrition. As usual, this year’s 21st annual catalog is full of colorful heirlooms with descriptions about their origins and how they can be used. In the front of the catalog, the Gettle family mentions that they are especially pleased to offer many new corn varieties this year as they have been working hard for several years to keep these varieties pure from toxic, GMO pollen. I especially love the look of the Glass Gem Corn.

Baker Creek has the biggest collection of open pollinated seeds in the U.S., which is beneficial because you can save seeds from vegetables grown from open pollinated seeds (unlike hybrids and GMOs). So, if you plant them now, you can enjoy these seeds for many years to come! Learn more about Baker Creek in Deborah’s post from last year.

  3. What a wonderful idea for a giveaway! My favorite part of winter is looking through all the various seed catalogs and wandering my “dream garden”. Someone is going to be very fortunate to win this bonanza.

  4. I love Baker Seeds and would be very excited to get any seeds! Whatever seeds I don’t use would be donated to a local community garden that has a garden in the inner-city. They work with youths to grow food that is distributed and consumed in the city which has very few options for fresh produce.

  25. This season will be the first time in 3 years that I can have a garden. I would be thrilled to win these seeds. In the past, I’ve found heirloom varieties easy to grow and resistant to the abundance of pests. Except my dog, who took a liking to my peas and was finally caught eating the pods right off the vine. And here I thought she was just slacking on keeping some really tall rabbits away.
