I ordered from them a few times and never had a problem. I did receive some free seeds from them which I grew out. I believe they were called Daphnes Gold or something like that. I happened to be growing KBX that year and the free seeds produced fruit and plants absolutely identical to the KBX fruit and plants. Like the KBX, they produced great tomatoes abundantly and they were free so I had no complaint.

I Order Tomatofest Hillbilly Heirloom Tomatoes Seeds. My project next years is to Grow out the Hillbilly and my Hawaiian Pineapple Heirloom Seeds I received from them in 2003 on my different farming lots for a taste difference. The Hillbilly are bigger than the Hawaiians Tomatoes as I grow them 10 years ago.
