Dear Folks: We've checked with several other seed companies to find out what they're doing, and what their understanding is of the situation:
>From Rico at Horizon Herbs in Oregon: "In short, USPS is irradiating at two places in the eastern US. They have bowed to the seed industry and assure us that they do not irradiate packages stating "LIVE SEEDS, DO NOT IRRADIATE". Our postal shipments now are labelled in this manner. Regards, Richo" >From Deb at Abundant Life Seed Foundation in Washington State: " We speak to our post office on a weekly basis - right now they are irradiating those envelopes that are mailed to 6 specific zipcodes in Wash DC ( we ups there) and envelopes out of New Jersey - they assure us and because we have also checked with the postmaster general - who says the same thing at this point we are trusting and still sending the bulk of our seeds through the post office. deb" No response yet from Johnny's or Turtle Tree... Woody and Barbara Aurora Farm is the only unsubsidized, family-run seed farm in North America offering garden seeds grown using Rudolf Steiner's methods of spiritual agriculture. http://www.kootenay.com/~aurora
