buying seed online in the US?

Post by Tweet » Mon Jan 24, 2011 2:39 pm

I am trying to find an online scource for seeds (so I can add some other seeds to by Java finches parakeet mix) in the US. Does anyone know of any?

The trick is going to be finding one close enough so the shipping doesn't break the bank. :)
Here's a couple that I've used with great success

I really like Herman Bros. too. The lady who answers the phone is very nice and patient. Shipping is less expensive if you have them ship to a place of business. With any bulk seed, I would freeze it for a few days minimum or add some food grade diatomaceous earth to the seed to prevent moths.
