I just placed an order with mumm's sprouting seeds. Why? I have heard of a few people ordering there in the past and being pleased and after having once again visited the website, I figured it would be worth trying a few things, specially since there is free shipping to Canada with orders over $25 (free shipping to the States with orders over $50).

I got a few of the sprouting jars - at less than $2 per jar, they just seemed worth it and I like how they supply some netting to allow the jars to drain while upside down without emptying the content. While it is something that could be easily done by oneself, I can't be bothered to go out, find some jars, find some proper netting and the proper lid part.

I also ordered a few seeds, namely broccoli, green kale, kamut, mung beans and quinoa. While I was tempted by some of the peas and lentils, I do still have quite a bit of Avian Vitality mix from Avian Organics and will finish those packages before I order any more peas and lentils. The quantities I ordered of each varied.

I'm looking forward to receiving my order and am quite happy that the seeds are certified organic. While I don't always feed organic produce to my flock, I do try to obtain some things once in a while.

I will of course post again once the order comes in!

I stumbled upon this site recently as well and was considering placing an order. Can't wait to see yours! :)
I'll be sure to let you know what I think. So far, just dealing online, things have gone very well and got very prompt emails confirming order was received and apparently they do send emails when they have a tracking number when orders are shipped.

It's not hard to get to the $50 for the free shipping in the US..I was a bit short of the $50 myself but it's because I showed some restraint and they didn't have any adzuki beans because I would have added some of those to my cart for sure!

I actually have a pretty fantastic selection here at my local health food stores; I think that's why I never ordered. But I never remember to write down prices when I go to the store to compare :o: There's also the fact that I'm perfectly happy with the sproutability and of course the convenience of TOPs :) Right now I'm very into growing wheatgrass. Charles and Sabrina have a little pot in their cage that they've been feasting on and they love it!! :)

I had ordered a bag of TOPs seeds to sprout (it says on the bag that it can be used that way) and I tried a few times but it never worked..I'm actually trying again now.
Who knows..could work now.
