So excited about my saffron bulbs! They were delivered in September as the company stated. I know they said that you could potentially get a harvest in the first year, but I was a little doubtful. However, today I went out and picked some saffron threads!!
I am usually super skeptical about ordering from online companies since you never know. But do not hesitate to order from this company! The bulbs are quality and the instructions were perfect. I think about half of the bulbs sprouted from September to now, (I only pictured some of them but I bought 30), but I’m confident that they will all come up this spring. Thank you Hudson Valley Seeds for some wonderful saffron bulbs!!!

I really love the seeds I have gotten from Hudson Valley! The art packs are truly treasures. However I have one request I would like to make. I got a couple garden packs for this summer such as Midnight Garden and Goth garden. I can’t tell if they are flowers or weeds that are coming up in my mandala garden and think it would be nice to have individual pictures of each young flower so I don’t accidentally pull them out thinking they are weeds. In addition, none of my three packs of poppy seeds came up. The directions said to direct plant by pressing the seeds into soil after frost. I did that, but no growth sadly. Thank you for your help.

I love their seeds and the artwork on their seed packets. I have usually seen them at the Philadelphia flower show but I happened to be up in the area of their store and decided to stop in. Very nice little shop, very helpful service. Thank you as always

I do not often leave reviews. But this time I'm upset enough to leave a negative review. I ordered 5 lb of Music steed garlic. Seed is supposed to be higher quantity than what you send to grocery store. But what I got is worse than what I got from a grocery store. Many garlics bulbs are moldy. Cloves are small too. About half way through, I decided to post a review and took a picture of some of the un-plantable cloves. I removed the skin so the moldy cloves are visible. I should have stuck with my usual online source. But I wanted to support local business since I leave in New York state. Not going back to Hudson valley seed company again.Update, The company sent replacement garlics that are much better. The modly garlic was a result of them using a new package that is not as airy for the 5 lb size. The replacement was 5 of 1 lb bags. This is a company that stood behind their products and one i can trust.

I cannot recommend HV Seed Co. I was really excited to get my vegetable garden seeds from a local company this year, but I will be going back to Home Depot next year. Extremely poor germination in all 6 varieties purchased. I was finally able to get some started, but obviously delayed. Despite this, I tried to keep an open mind. Unfortunately, the tomatoes are barely growing…my volunteers from last year are 6ft tall, and I’m thankful I kept them or I wouldn’t have any tomatoes this year. And the “poblano” peppers I was most excited for are actually banana peppers. I am so disappointed and genuinely regret wasting my time, energy and money putting HV Seed Co seeds in my garden this year.EDIT: I reached out directly for resolutions, as requested in the business response. They apologized that I was "having such a hard time growing plants this year...." But I'm not having trouble growing plants this year, just THEIR plants. They blamed poor germination on the weather. Again, I've only had poor germination with THEIR seeds, not others this year. I also germinate indoors and transplant, successfully for years, so the weather is irrelevant in regards to germination. They also failed to address the mislabeled seeds at all. I was offered store credit...which I will not ever use, obviously. Seems like the issues are my fault and the weather's fault, according to HV Seed Co, but certainly not theirs.

What a GEM! Randomly found them through a Google search. Excellent website that I found very intuitive to navigate and filled with every type of product, and quantity, one could hope for. Fair shipping costs. Plus free shipping on SEED purchases over $35. And the store’s customer service team was very patient and helpful. So happy I found this company. It is very obvious they put a lot of love into what they do.

Great selection of organic seeds.

I was a little disappointed with the size of the store l thought it would be much bigger.
I love their artwork but consistently poor or no germination. Every Pirat lettuce seed was a dud, none grew at all. Poor germination on the blue corn and others too.

**2/20/2023 update. The company did reach out and went above and beyond expectation to address the situation. I didn't want or expect anything as originally this was my error, I just wanted to get across that customer service could be a tad more empathetic with their approach. I do want to say that these would make amazing wedding favors (and I am highly planning on reordering for my wedding n bulk later in the year).**5+ stars for the spectacular and vibrant art covers for the seeds. Colors are vibrant! I love them! But 2 stars for customer service. I ordered 13 seed packets as gifts for a few friends and was so sad when I realized that one of the shishito seed packets purchased was not the art packet style. I reached out to their customer service (yes, I mistakenly purchased the non art version) and was told I'd be responsible for the return shipping and new shipping. I replied asking if it was possible to just purchase the art cover since I already had the seeds. The customer rep was very short/blunt and didn't provide any alternative solutions... just told me to reorder. The customer service could certainly be worked on. The difference in the art and non-art versions was a whole 50 cents ...and having to pay an extra $10+ to get the one art cover piece wouldn't be a reasonable cost for me. I know, again, entirely my mistake. I really wanted to support this local business and love their art concept... but they have less than desirable customer service.
