FEDCO SEED ORDER

GARDENING FOR LIFE AND COMMUNITY GARDENS

DEADLINE Feb 28, 2012 Our Seed Group Order # = 99023

Last year by ordering together, we were able to get 50% off of our Fedco seed order! The amount of this year's discount depends upon how much we will order total. The more our combined order totals, the higher the discount.   You will NOT see discount pricing on their website -- the discount is determined after the group order is closed. We choose Fedco for a few reasons:

1) It's New England based, and a lot of their seeds are grown in New England. That means the seeds are better adapted to our climate.

2) They're a co-op, and therefore their prices are lower (lesser focus on profit-making)

3) They made a principled decision several years ago not to do business with Monsanto's Seminis, the supplier of seeds for gardeners and seed sellers all over the USA.  We are certain we will not inadvertently be doing business with Monsanto when buying Fedco.. ( check out (seedshttp://www.fedcoseeds.com/seeds/monsanto.htm) 

4) We can get a group discount on seeds

5) They do not charge shipping on any seed order over $40 (group or individual)

TO ORDER: Go to http://www.FedcoSeeds.com and click on "Order Seeds Online".  Create an account for yourself (just enter your zipcode and email address) and start filling your shopping cart.  Once you are done shopping and ready to check out, click "Check Out" and at almost the bottom of the page, they ask "Is this a group order".  Choose "Yes" and put in 99023 when asked.  YOU WILL NOT NEED TO PAY YET.

On Feb 29, I will send our group's order in, and I will let the group know how much of a discount we qualified for. (I will pay for it).  I will also let you know when the seeds come in. Due to the possibility that some seeds will not arrive due to certain varieties being sold out, how much you owe won't be known until I receive the seeds.  You can pay me when you get your seeds shipped in March.

MOOSE TUBERS (taters, onions, shallots):

DEADLINE: FEB 28, 2012 Our Moose Tuber Group Order # = 79009

We likely won't qualify for a discount on a group Moose Tubers order (we'd need 1000+ lbs combined!), but we can save on shipping, given that potatoes are heavy.  Where there are multiple people ordering the same variety, we can save by buying a larger package and splitting it.

TO ORDER: Go to http://www.FedcoSeeds.com and click on "Moose Tubers".  Create an account for yourself (just enter your zipcode and email address) and start filling your shopping cart.  Once you are done shopping and ready to check out, click "Check Out" and at almost the bottom of the page, they ask "Is this a group order".  Choose "Yes" and put in 79009 when asked.  YOU WILL NOT NEED TO PAY YET. On Feb 29, I will send our group's order in (I'm the group coordinator) and I will the group know how much of a discount we qualified for. (I will pay for it). 

I will also let you know when the tubers come in. Due to the possibility that some tubers will not arrive due to certain varieties being sold out, how much you owe won't be known until I receive the tubers.  You can pay me when you get your tubers. These do not start to ship earlier than early April.
