I just got a FEDCO catalogue in the mail, and I'm confused by the catalogue - it seems like I can order from several different companies, but then there are also different divisions. Can anyone give me a 101 on how it works? The prices look good.

As I understand it, there are different divisions (seeds, tubers, trees, etc.), and you have to use a separate order form/pay separate shipping for each one. I've only ordered seeds from them so far, but I was very happy with them.

It's just one company but there are different divisions. You must have the seed catalog; if you go to their website you will see links for downloading everything else.

They are a wonderful company, they have been around for awhile and are very independent. They have lots of organics and heirlooms and tons of info.
I have been extremely happy with the yields I get.

I havent gotten to look closely, but it looks like the same type of seed (e.g. squash) is in different parts of the catalogue, hence my assumption that there were different companies represented. It makes organizing my choices difficult.

Oh, no, all seed is ordered from the same spot. In the beginning of the catalog, they list all of the organic varieties for you, so if you want strictly organic, you can look at that list and pick your varieties there. After the list of organics, they have the main seed catalog. That is where they list all of the varieties they sell (organic and non), and give descriptions of each variety. The first organic list is just a convenience, and you use the same order form for either list, as far as I can tell.

At the back of the catalog is the Moose Tubers catalog of potatoes, onion sets, etc. Those require a separate order form.

Does that answer your question?

Also in the "main" catalog is the growing supplies division - this is in the very back and contains soil amendments, tools, books, etc. There is a separate order form for this division too!

Yes! Thank you! Focusing attention on the catalogue to answer this question was impossible with my 20 month old running around...

I think I may order from them, their prices are excellent.
