25. If you want every day organic seeds in large quantities Johnny's seeds are pretty good

Johnny's is worker owned and their product does exactly what it says in their catalog. But they can be pricey if you buy small quantities.

I usually have to hunt around for the more unusual seeds. Johnny may sell them but they are frequently sold out this time of year. Black soy bean seeds were tough to find this year. I couldn't get edible poppyseed seeds, and even Baker's creek didn't have apple mellon seeds.

Territorial has decent organic seeds but they can be pricey in large quantities.
