@jason I just did a quick read up because I didn’t know about their shenanigans before today. Really despicable stuff. Their SEO is extremely effective to be able to keep Google from making it on the front page, boy howdy

@jason Thank you! I am new to seed buying and had no idea. I am currently using their catalog as collage fodder and will now feel even better about that.
