Catalog Request Information IMPORTANT NOTICE 12/15/08: Although we have always published a printed catalog, events have led us to the decision that we will not be printing a 2009 edition. If you have been keeping up with current events, you know that costs have been skyrocketing in all sectors of the economy and we are getting hit from all sides. We experienced increases in postage, processing fees, labor, and raw material costs. Political decisions requiring ethanol and biodiesel in fuel blends at the pump in 2008 provided farmers with a huge incentive to take their fields out of food and seed production and plant corn and soy exclusively for ethanol and biodiesel fuel production. You probably experienced this as increases in your grocery and restaurant bills. This was magnified by a generally poor to disastrous growing season in much of the country contributing to additional seed shortages. As a result, we were not able to predict what seeds we would have available by the deadline to produce a catalogue. This made the decision not to print a 2009 edition a bit easier. It has been an expensive and money losing effort for several years. That is, the cost of printing and mailing was more costly than the income they generated. Therefore since the cost to produce, publish and mail a paper catalog will require more capital outlay than we typically bring in through catalog sales, we won't be printing one for the 2009 season. Let's all hope and pray that things turn around for the better in 2009 and we will reevaluate and hopefully produce one for the 2010 season. It is certainly not our intention to upset and alienate our gardening friends that do not use computers, but this year especially, we have to consider the survival of our organization as a primary concern. I still hope to carve out the time to get a downloadable version of a 2009 catalogue created. Orders can still be mailed or faxed using our web site as a catalog (at the library or a friend's house perhaps). A copy of our order form can be downloaded and printed by clicking here. Please use our online catalog of items. If you are uncomfortable using the internet, you can always print out an order sheet (see below) and fax or mail it in with payment.
