Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell to all states of Australia?

Due to demand, including situations such as Covid-19,  we cannot always accept orders outside our midwest Western Australian region.

We will generally post updates on our blog and website pop ups as to current status of seed availability.

During periods when demands are high we may need to temporarily close our on-line store to fulfill orders and check stock.

 

Postage

All orders under 100 packets are delivered by Australia Post.

Postage and handling are calculated at checkout.

Postage and handling will not be charged for local pickups from our farm here in Geraldton, Western Australia.

Seeds per Packet

The number of seeds per packet is displayed next to the varieties’ SKU code.

We look to provide enough for gardeners for a number of seasons. Some seeds are very small and are hand counted rather than weighed, and some variation in actual seeds per packet may occur.

Pay Options
We accept payment for on-line orders through Direct Deposit or Cheque/Money Order.

Sorry we do not accept on-line credit card payments.

Upon receipt of your order we will confirm that we have stocks to meet your order and provide you with payment details.

For local pickup orders we have eftpos facilities.

Bulk Orders

We do not accept bulk orders due the limitations of the size of our gardens. 

Some varieties may have limits in regards to the number of packets you can purchase.

This is dependent on our current stock and what we are currently growing/harvesting in our gardens.

We will confirm quantities upon receipt of your order.
