Seed Bank

Oct 2023

Happened upon this store and didn't realize until I was inside that this is THE Baker Creek seed store. Like a kid in a candy shop, I marveled at all the seed packets and seed starting materials. What a lovely place with a lot of great information and items!

Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Store originally began in Missouri, but opened its California outlet in Petaluma in 2009. Until December 2017, it was housed in the majestic former Sonoma National Bank. The staff are knowledgeable about tons of different heirloom varieties. While they offer flowers like poppies, sunflowers and zinnias, they mostly offer herbs, fruits and vegetables. Seed packets cost from $2.50-$7.00 (or more, depending) They even have their own vegan cookbook, Even before COVID, one could buy products online, by phone or mail order. Baker Creek was prepared. While Baker Creek offers conventional peppers, carrots, pumpkins, squash, they do have more fascinating heirloom varieties- like King Tut peas, pawpaws, Cambodian green eggplants and glass gem corn. The seed store is now in a smaller venue, but the service is still top notch, and the prices and varieties are excellent. Perfect for the home gardener.
