ANSWERS

Timing is very important as the seed industry is seasonal and can be very busy at certain times of the year. 

About two months lead time (more time if possible) is needed for large shipments. 

Seed packets are not produced until a “Request For Seed” form is submitted and ½ payment is made. 

Three reasons for this policy; the cost of producing the seed packets, the kind of vegetable seed printed on the packet and the language(s) that are used on the packets.
