11/2/09 - Fall is here, crops are harvested and in barns, the fields are cleaned up ready for spring, and over the next few weeks, we will be working on preparing seeds for next season.

Quickly filling orders is still a priority. We are presently getting seed orders mailed out in 7 to 10 business days.

9/2/09 - Summer is quickly winding down here on the farm. Fall weather is in the air and we are frantically trying to wrap up summer outside construction and maintenance projects as well as harvest and prepare for next year

Quickly filling orders is our priority task. We are presently getting them mailed out in 1 to 3 days.

5/11/09 - We have finally gotten the work backlog whittled way down.

We are presently filling and mailing orders in 2 to 3 days (sometimes less).

4/21/09 - Thanks to a lot of hard work by all of the crew here, we have finally gotten the work backlog whittled way down.  We are presently filling and mailing orders in 5 to 7 work days (sometimes less).

We do appreciate your orders and patience.

4/3/09 - After successfully moving into a larger facility, implementing software that improves our order fulfillment process, getting extra help, and weeks of 16 to 18 hour days, we are finally getting closer and closer to the fast turn-around times you have known us by.

Our current backlog is 7 to 10 business days.

We do appreciate your orders and patience.

3/1/09 - It is absolutely true that there can be too much of a good thing!

We appreciate all the support you are sending our way but we now have so much work that we now have about a three week backlog on seed orders.

We are implementing new software and procedures and hope to get our turn-around times fast again.

Candy orders are being filled twice a week.

We do appreciate your patience and please consider the above information prior to ordering.

2/9/09 - We truly appreciate all of the orders that you folks are sending our way. The volume this year has caught us a little unprepared and understaffed.  We are working hard to keep our order turn-around times to 10 working days or less. We do appreciate your patience!

1/18/09 - The U.S.P.S. implemented another price increase.  Further increases are expected again in May.  We still have held off on implementing a minimum order requirement, but our shipping and handling fees have had to be increased to help offset costs.  Click here for more information.

1/16/09 - Thank you for your support.  As we start the 2009 sales season, we are still trying to get all of the seed we have ready for sale, the web site updated nightly, and getting orders out as quickly as possible. We greatly appreciate your patience. Our current order backlog is about 10 working days.

1/2/09 - We made it through the snow and ice storms but it has moved right into unusually wet and miserable weather.  Life here on the farm is not very "laid back" at the moment.  Please be patient.  Our current backlog is about 5 to 8 working days.

1/1/09 - In an effort to create "living wages" for employees, the State of Oregon has increased minimum wage to $8.40 per hour.  Add to this the other burdens an employer must cover (state and federal taxes, insurances, employee benefits, etc.) and the cost of hiring an employee in Oregon is now the second highest in the nation.  Click here for more information about how this affects your order.

12/22/08 - Snow and ice storms are slowing work to a crawl. Highways are closed in areas, trucking is stopped, but our power is on, we are warm, and we are working on filling orders.
