Seed Treasures is a great mom and pop garden seed business who advertise in Backwoods Home…read moreMagazine. They do have a website but all ordering is done through their print catalog. I enjoy doing some (well, many) things the old way and so they're right up my alley. Their selection is quite extensive. Maybe not Baker Creek sized, but thorough, and you'll find a lot of variety. They pick and choose plants that did well for them, so it's somewhat curated. I ordered some corn, a pack of Blue Beauty tomato seeds and some Anaheim Chile seeds. Everything arrived well-packed in the mail. I've ordered my seeds from other folks and continue to do so. But I'll keep going back to Seed Treasures as well. I'm excited to plant in a few months!

We went in to exchange it and they could have not been more accommodating. She did not have the receipt and had removed the tags. They knew it was their product and were happy to make the swap for a larger size. As she made the swap, I browsed through the store with my other cousin. Oh my, the variety of merchandise was mind blowing. They had everything you'd need for a camping trip. They even sell camping packages for the boundary waters and when you check-in on Yelp they offer a 15% off coupon. If you're a fisher, they also offer live bait to help you catch that big fish. That way your "big fish" story will be truth instead of a made up one. My other cousin who was traveling with us, caught so much fish during our trip, that when we left Ely, we had to stop at Spirit to buy dry ice. When in Ely, I highly recommend that you shop, Spirit.
