About Great Basin Seed
Great Basin Seed offers bulk seeds with an awesome variety, from wildflowers to alternate forages. They have the best prices and outstanding, honest customer service, taking time to give sincere and competent answers tailored to your property. However, experiences with specific seed mixes can vary. One customer found their Midwestern wildflower mix great, but the Western Wildflower mix was a huge disappointment, growing mostly weeds. The company is known for helpful engagement, having provided a partial refund for that issue. Overall, they are a recommended supplier for bulk seeds.
Ordered two 1 pound bags of wildflower seeds. The Midwestern wildflower mix turned out great. If the other was this good it would be an easy 5 stars. The other bag was the Western Wildflower mix. I was hoping to grow a native wildflower garden. It is mostly weeds, particularly grasses. The Indian blankets are the only thing to flower from this mix so far, and the Indian Blankets from the the Midwest mix look much better. I gave both the exact same conditions. The Western Wildflower mix was a huge disappointment, and has just created a lot of weeding work for me. I let the weeds grow a bit to make sure they weren't wildflowers, and their roots have gone wide and deep quickly....read full review
As a hobby ‘farmer’ I’ve been buying seeds from Great Basin and Haystack Mountain for years. They have an awesome variety. I’ve planted everything from wildflowers to alternate forages (trefoil, sanfoin, etc). Pretty sure I even planted some Mountain Mahogany from them. They have excellent customer service. They are more honest and helpful than a typical Big Ag seed supplier. They have enough variety to actually cater to your property (soil type, water availability, winter temperatures, and production goals) as opposed to pushing the product down the distribution chain from Bayer. And will take the time to answer questions with sincere and competent answers.
