Prairie Garden Seeds

Hi,

Someone may have covered this in an earlier thread, but does anyone know if Prairie Garden seeds is one of the Canadian companies that WILL ship to the US or one of those that WON'T. I was perusing their online list and the seem to have a lot of the older, more obscure subspecies of wheat, and since my stuff did so badly this year, I'm contemplating seeing if any of those do better (since the selling point for most of them is their disease resistance.

And if they DON'T does anyone know if Salt Spring Seeds DOES. Their list is not so extensive, but they do have ONE of the wheats on my potential list.

As I recall Salt Springs does not. I don't know about the other but it seems like a friendly enough place to inquire judging from its website.

This appears to have changed. Wayback Machine on Nov. 13, 2013 vs. Jan 2, 2014. Gone is "Due to Customs Regulations we regret we can no longer ship orders to the United States".

Salt Springs hasn't for several years unfortunately.

I think Salt Springs must be shipping outside Canada now, as when you click on an item to place it in your cart it has separate buttons for 'inside Canada' and 'outside Canada'.

what happens if just a private person sends seeds across the border? As far as I can tell, nothing untoward, they just wander through...perhaps a matter of luck or? Might this be a workaround for some of us?

i really don't know as i don't ship seeds around much. i don't like risking my hard earned $ or efforts without being more certain so i won't do it until i am more certain. at the moment i don't have a budget for it anyways so the point is moot... :/

Well right now the Canadian dollar is in the tank so haven't ordered anything from the US this year, although I would've sprung for some stufffrom Carol Deppe if she had ever replied to the email.
