I recently mail ordered a variety of seeds and bulbs. I inadvertently used the wrong form of payment and Brenda from the support team was super helpful in correcting my mistake. The seeds and bulbs all arrived as expected, they have not had time to grow yet. read more

You can only order online with this business or phone them, but they give free shipping if you live within 50 miles! Call them to receive the code, which never expires. Last year I couldn't garden as I was rehabbing from shoulder surgery so I planted a cover crop that they recommended. It turned out GREAT! This year I ordered organic seeds for my garden and they were shipped within 2 days. I love this business! read more

I am a big fan of True Leaf Market. I live in the USA, and I have only great things to say about the quality of their seeds and customer service. Just last week, I had an emergency. My organization held a public family event on MLK Day. We were making seed balls. But someone on staff had ordered the wrong seeds from another company. I called True Leaf Market on Wednesday afternoon and told them I needed the seeds by Friday (to prepare for Monday). My 5 lbs bag of seeds arrived on Friday morning. And MLK Day was saved! And I could talk about the quality of the seeds. The best Wildflower seeds I ever used. No straggling unwanted weeds. Probably 90% gemination, and glorious blooming from April to November!!! AND pollinator galore, including Monarchs, and Swallow Tails!! Almost every day! read more

Great seeds and great value for the price. My most recent order didn't arrive at all but the support team was quick to issue a replacement!

Used to be great before they bought out the competition and took over the market. Their customer service is disgusting now and their delivery options are absolutely awful. read more

I bought some seeds from Trueleaf co. Several weeks ago and started planting some of them five days ago.To my great surprise most of the plants have come up in as little as three days. Delivery was quick and I was notified through the entire process. Great job Trueleaf!!,Danny Jones read more

Ok this might sound dumb but whoever heard of lemon cucumbers?! I hadn't! Found this seller on Walmart website. They sell organic veggie seeds including lemon cucumber. Shipping was fast AND free! The price for 30 seeds was 2.99 and I feel that is extremely fair for an organic veggie! So far the plants have sprouted and are growing well! No buds yet but I know they will come. I am pretty excited! read more

The seeds did not grow despite following all directions. They actually don't guarantee that they will, so keep in mind that you're gambling if you purchase from True Leaf Market. For us it was a total waste of time, money, and a growing season. read more

HORRIBLE - True Leaf Market sent me a coupon for 15 percent off my order. I attempted to order approx. 90 dollars of their seeds. However, when I was going to check out, they still was going to charge me shipping cost. I contacted True Leaf Market and the ONLY response I could get was to tell me that could NOT happen. HORRIBLE SERVICE and I will NEVER order from True Leaf Market again. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Ture Leave Market!!!!!!! read more

I had an issue with Broccoli Seeds that I had ordered back in February. The seeds were not sprouting like the past seeds I have ordered from True Leaf Market. I finally decided to contact the company and let them know that there was something different with the new seeds. They got back to me right away. Juliet was just great! She took the issue seriously. I now have new seeds on the way! Great customer service all the way!! read more

A few years ago, I started a microgreen business, selling them at my local farmers market. I always purchased all my seeds and supplies at True Leaf Market and was never disappointed. Then the pandemic hit and my microgreen business stopped. Now I'm starting up again, and True Leaf Market is better than ever. Great customer service, great products, great prices. read more

Remember when you'd go grocery shopping and notice that the order ahead of you didn't have any produce on the conveyor belt? Remember how you wondered how healthy the people were, given that there was nothing green in their order? Don't worry - they just might be growing produce at home. Even if they live in a tiny apartment! I'm doing it. I started a couple of weeks ago; this is yet another silver lining from the COVID-19 experience. We started watching YouTube videos to find out how to sprout beans. That worked. So we watched some more and learned how to grow microgreens from Epic Gardening: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtvuMNVLISo&t=47s). A quick Google search later and we stumbled upon True Leaf Market - funny enough, the guy in the video - Kevin Espiritu - suggested this business, something I picked up on after we made our first order. They ship quickly so the wait was short. Ok so what did we grow and how did it go? We ordered popcorn kernels, dun peas, black oil sunflower seeds, mustard and amaranth. What'd we do? We ordered some shallow plastic trays, filled them with potting soil, added the seeds/grains/legumes to the soil and covered the trays for a few days before putting them under a light. That's it. (They have a ton of seeds and stuff needed for growing - and you can search by #days til harvest so you can pace your harvesting to meet your food needs.) After a couple of days we saw sprouts. A few days later, we saw plants. A few days later, we started harvesting. I wish everything was this easy. What'd we get? Look at the pics - this is our first time growing microgreens. Between this and the veggies growing in our Aerogarden, we too will be those people with nothing green in our shopping cart! read more

I am awaiting an order for sprouting seeds, which has been shipped. I am reordering after using up the 2.5 lb. bag of 5 sprout seeds that I ordered in 2022. They've sprouted over all these years, and the last batch is doing great. They are a great company and I am happy to recommend them. read more

I ordered 2 packs of seeds from Parks seeds on the same day & within a few minutes before ordering 3 seed packs from True leaf market. The day True leaf's order arrived, Parks had yet to have my order leave their facility. I will definitely use True leaf again! read more

As others have noted, True Leaf Market is the retail name for Mountain Valley Seed. In addition, it appears to also be affiliated with Sustainable Seed Co as of 2019. But what we're talking about here on Yelp is the actual warehouse in Salt Lake City where they do business. I will forgo the long explanation of my gardening life past and path, as well as the longwinded sermon on the magic of starting things from seed, growing your own food, or working in the soil. Oh, I have plenty to say, but you're here to get the lowdown on the company and not my own feelings on the absolute wonder of a watermelon or the beauty of a beet. True Leaf is located in a very unassuming part of town, in a very unassuming warehouse. Under normal conditions, there's a small retail shop but since I visited only a few months ago during all of the COVID precautions, that has been closed. Instead, it was a pretty slick system of making an order online, receiving an email saying my order was ready, and walking into the front door (masks required), finding my order neatly packed in a paper bag, depositing my packing slip in a basket to acknowledge pickup, and walking back out. Not 30 seconds and you can be on your way if you do the same procedure. I'd like to visit again sometime when the shop is open, but for now, it was an efficient and safe visit. On to the seeds themselves. I've leaned towards Mountain Valley for several of my varieties. They're fully non-GMO and they are usually very reasonably priced, generously portioned, and I have had no problems with germination. They have matched what they say on the packet, which is not always the case when ordering seeds. As for the selection, these are my production seeds. My everyday seeds. My dependable and reliable seeds. You're going to get your Blue Lake beans, and your Celebrity tomatoes, and your Danvers Half Long carrots, and your Little Marvel peas. You're going to get a good price and you're going to be happy you planted normal stuff. Every so often, you're going to find a few varieties here that surprise you. I just ordered a spinach substitute (New Zealand) and that's not a common find. I have a packet of Baby Blues tomatoes that I've still not found in more than one or two other places elsewhere on the web. You're going to get into rare kinds of things like okra, but if you're looking for a lot of exotics, you're probably going to be about waist-deep here, and not way out in the deep water. I like this, though; and that's why I recommend True Leaf to newer gardeners. Then, if you're out on the internets and find a Riesentomate packet, order it up. (Side note: If anyone has a lead on this variety, lmk? It's been on my list for a few years and is always sold out elsewhere!) I don't grow flowers from seed, but they do have a whole massive section dedicated to just that. I just have too many veggies on my list and not enough dirt. As we speak, my garlic is shooting up out of the ground. It was too wet last weekend to plant the peas I bought from True Leaf, but they're going in over the next couple of days. Did I need the tomato seeds I just bought here? I have 76 varieties of tomato seeds already, and yet, the answer is still yes. Happy planting, everyone. read more

great service and seeds!!! oh gosh I need to write 85 characters at least, what else can I say - tremendous company!!!

I had a problem with one of the 1 lb packets I received. I took it out of the box and seeds went flying all over. I was so upset. I contacted True Leaf Market and right away....they apologized and sent me a replacement packet. I love this company and their seeds are the best!! Thanks True Leaf!! You are amazing and I appreciate you making me feel better. Sincerely Sherri read more

We've been using True Leaf to supply our microgreens business for about a year and love them so much! We love being able to source from such a wide variety of seeds and with great pricing. Customer service is fantastic - timely and extremely helpful. We accidentally ordered the wrong kind of trays, and Juliet was able to help us process the exchange and get the correct ones shipped out asap - which is important to us as a small business! Wonderful people, wonderful business. read more

Terrible customer service. Will let orders go weeks without being fulfilled and does not let the customer know what's going on. ZERO communication . Find a real vendor if you're gonna try to run a business that depends on seeds. read more

True Leaf Market - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

My first order from them has been truly horrific. Tried 3 can owners and various other tools to get into a 5# can. For reference, I have many tools, have drywalled, laid tile, and work on cars, etc etc etc. Couldn't get into can. Contacted customer service via email. No response. Called and the agent said she saw my message and to try the bottom of the can, etc., and said she was going to connect me to someone else. For her voice mail and never did get a call back. So... tried again, this time cutting my hand on a knife. Contacted again via email and told them that I cut myself. Their response? Basically use error... she has many cans that have no problems (even though i was told they were new and other people also had problems), so.... This is deplorable. I would never tell a customer to basically figure it, especially when there's a possibility of getting hurt. My hands will heal, but I tried repeatedly to get help or return this one and get a new one but was ignored. BS read more

True Leaf Market - Different seeds started on different days. All good stuff! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

True Leaf Market and Mountain Valley Seeds are one and the same. Just want to get that out of the way first because it's a bit confusing, and there are even two separate Yelp listings. They are open to the public weekdays only, from 8:30am-5:00pm. This is sort of a bummer for working folks, but if you're interested hopefully you can make it work. I arrived at the warehouse on a Friday afternoon to find the front door locked. I twisted and turned the knob, I could see people inside, I pressed the buzzer, all to not avail! I almost left, but went ahead and called, and after a bit of a hold, explained my dilemma to the woman who answered the phone. She proceeded to instruct me, in the most monotone and unfriendly voice imaginable, to simply pull the door. I did, and of course, it opened right up. I felt foolish and silly, and certainly that is a dumb misunderstanding, but why would you leave your doorknob locked during business hours, and if it is confusing to customers (and it must be, because I noticed a sign about it on the door), perhaps be a little nicer when they call about it? That started my visit with a bad taste in my mouth, which continued after I entered, as I browsed a good ten minutes before anyone greeted me, even though clearly the person on the phone knew I was coming in. Not to mention, the several employees who have a full view of the sales floor...ugh, see I'm still bitter! Anyways, I got to looking around, and while my main interest was seeds, I spotted some other cool things, most notably gardening books, and Sandor Ellix Katz's Wild Fermentation, which I have wanted foreverrrr. They had various other garden supplies, but nothing in particular that stands out in my memory. Besides the standard garden seeds (available in a variety of package sizes and regular or organic), there were a TON of sprouting and microgreens seeds, which was very neat, and something I hope to research and try out. In person purchases are 10% off, and if you place an order online, select "will call," and pick it up, you are still rewarded with that discount. This did not count for much with my hefty selection of three whole packs of seeds (livin' large!), but of course I still appreciated it, and that is something to keep in mind if making a costly garden supply purchase. The seeds were all less than what I usually spend (granted, I buy funky and rare varieties when I can), but I think Mountain Valley is right in line with your everyday seed companies, maybe even less. The young man who assisted me (didn't catch his name, but he was a fellow ginger-yes!), was pleasant and friendly. My visit began poorly, but ended well, and I will return, mostly to purchase more seeds as I enjoy supporting local businesses when possible, and I go through A LOT of seeds! read more

I had some confusion over planting instruction on a seed packet. In less than 8 minutes, the issue was resolved and the seeds I planted improperly will be replaced. This is the best customer service I have experienced for a very long time. And the rest of my seeds are growing well! read more

I initially found the products for this store on-line, but I was excited to learn that the market is local to SLC! Not only is the location unique, but you receive a 10% discount on any purchases made in-house! If you're not local to Salt Lake, it's Free Shipping for on-line orders over $45, which is a low minimum compared to others. The store is a small section of a massive warehouse, sectioned off by up-cycled shipping containers which have been beautifully renovated. I got a kick out of peeking in the back warehouse filled with endless pallets and heavy machinery- a sign that I was buying straight from the source, no middle man here! I have bought sprouting seeds of different varieties here, and found that they have a higher germination rate compared to other sources I've tried. I've never had issues with mold developing, or batches that didn't sprout, which I struggled with previously. I just tested the stainless steel wide mouth sprouting jar lid compared to the green plastic lid, and I like it a lot more. It has better ventilation, and it's easier to pour water through the mesh grate. The drain holes are so small on the plastic lid, that water pools at the top, and sometimes I have to take the lid off altogether in order to water the seeds. I recommend the stainless steel lid- it's made of 316 surgical stainless steel which is rust resistant, (other metal lids will rust!) I'm really excited to test out the Wheatgrass Growing Kit by Handy Pantry (local SLC company!) I was happy to learn that the wheat berries that are included in the kit are the same ones I was going to buy from True Leaf Market- certified organic, high germination rate, and they grow thick grass blades. Overall great experience, I will definitely be going back! read more

these folks do a great job, I've had wonderful success with their seeds. I love their sprouting trays, and I like the fact that I can actually talk to a person if I feel like it and they'll answer my email usually in five minutes. Plan to keep doing business with them! read more

This is the second and last year I will shop at True Leaf Market. Their seeds are on par with other seed companies and I was happy with them until I had to experience their "Customer Service". I had a problem with a lettuce seed producing green instead of red lettuce like it was supposed to be which is not a big deal but when I asked for a refund or replacement of the $2.49 I was not prepared for the hassle they have given me. I have sent them 5 emails and still do not have a refund or replacement seeds. This was after I had spent well over a hundred dollars buying their seeds. read more

Was tired of how slow delivery was with regular mail with Baker Creek Seeds, abd decided to try True Leaf online. Paid extra for priority mail, but it took them 5 business days (7 calendar days) to even get the package in the mail to begin with. What's the point of offering a two to three day delivery service if it takes you a week to get it out the door? I'm not talking about a big bulk seed order. I'm talking about a handful of seed packets. As slow as regular mail was, least Baker Creek gets the package in the mail quickly and doesn't charge you for shipping. Much better customer service then I can say for Baker Creek. read more

This company also seems to go under the name of Handy Pantry. If I am wrong, I hope that they tell me. Better half and I are trying to grow our own sprouts. We found this company online. Their seeds are non-gmo and organic. They have the best deals that we could find for our needs. Since we dont know what we will like, we got their "Beginners Dozen Sprouting Seed Assortment" for $82. It is 1 pound each of Alfalfa, Radish, Clover, Green Lentils, Mung Bean, Garbanzo Beans, Green Pea, Bean Salad Mix,(Adzuki, Lentil, Mung, and Radish) Protein Powerhouse Mix, (Garbanzo, Green Pea, Adzuki and Mung beans) Crunchy Lentil Fest, (Green, Red & French Lentils) 3 Part Salad Mix (Alfalfa, Radish, Broccoli) and 5 Part Salad Mix.(Alfalfa, Radish, Broccoli, Mung & Lentil) We also bought 2 pounds of shelled sunflower seeds for $14. This is supposed to make a lot of sprouts so should be easy on our grocery budget. They have a large selection and our order was correct and arrived in 6 days. read more

I am a fairly new micro green hobbyist. I have ordered a number of items through the mail from True Leaf Market. I have generally been pleased with the products and services, however, I wish I had done my research before I ordered a couple of the items. I trusted the company not to sell anything harmful and so I just bought what looked interesting. When I was ready to use the shiso and borage, I looked them up online and decided that there were risks involved with these products, so that I did not want to use them. I did plant some of the Shiso out in a contained garden and I gave some of the seeds away but the rest I plan to return. It is too late, I suspect, to get a refund and I don't have my order information. I guess the motto, "buyer beware "is something I need to remember in the future. read more

I want to give this a zero rating. I ordered a 2.5 Lb bag of seed sprouts to feed to my budgies, and instead received Organic Bird Seed Mix. I was ready to sprout these when I saw red beans in the mix. A lot of red beans. Any beans are toxic to budgies if they're not cooked. Is this a joke? Are these meant for outdoor birds or chickens? I specifically was on a sight for budgies when I saw these advertised, and when I ordered, I checked the ingredient list and there was no mention of red beans on the list. I also do not see the word "Sprout seeds on the bag. Very disappointed. read more

I was super excited to get my seeds started this early Spring. I started my tomatoes peppers and onions in my greenhouse with even Temps excellent soil and consistent watering pattern. Complete with a grow light I might add. After 2 weeks and nothing happened I decided to check the soil. NO GROWTH. seeds were as they were when I put them in the ground. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I am not sure I want to even try putting the rest of the seeds I purchased in the soil that I had prepared by a professional nursery. What a waste of money... read more

I have always had good results with seeds purchased from True Leaf. However, recently I purchased a batch of sunflower seeds that did not grow well at all. After repeatedly getting the same poor results on 10 trays I reached out to them. They responded immediately, researched the batch that my seeds had come from, and within two days gave me credit. Their customer service was great! read more

I ordered $530 of products. One of those products was out of stock (even though I was able to put it in my online cart and pay for it). So instead of sending all my other instock items, and emailing me, calling me, or a note in my order - they do nothing. If I had not called NINE DAYS later - which was difficult to find since it was not in my order confirmation email, and their website was not working - then I would still be waiting for my order. Who knows how long I would be waiting since they had basically told me that they had no real leads on obtaining the missing product. I like trying out different companies for my business, and this just lost them a potential consistent customer who would have spent a thousands yearly, and not to mention the word of mouth of further potential customers. I must be a small customer compared to their main ones, but how do they get away with this as a business practice? They had no resolution for me when I called. I had to ask for a refund of the missing item, and for them to send me the rest of my $480 order. Otherwise, they wanted me to wait on the missing portion of the order before sending out the rest of it. Super unprofessional to say the least. I will say that the refund was quick. The shipping confirmation came in in the afternoon; however, the tracking button leads a previous web address (must have been the one I originally went to) that says, "The tracking number did not match any known tracking providers." So now I just hope I actually get this order in a decent time frame. read more
