Why are these seeds shipped from China?
154975
You need to look at the "Other Sellers" tab on the product page to see where the seeds are coming from. Amazon is an open market place and does not regulate where seeds come from or where they are shipped to. If you want to support US Seed growers find a seller who is US based and ships within the USA. Hope this helps?

I don't know about hardiness, but I would caution you about purchasing these seeds. I think they are a US product, but are processed and packaged in China. It was well past planting season before I got mine even though I ordered them early and I contacted them several times regarding delivery. Once, they told me the problem was a holiday delaying sending them. While they were extremely cheap, it wasn't worth the headache - I couldn't even cancel the order because they processed the money part well before the order. I can't recommend this product at all.

These seeds are small packets like you find in the grocery store. They come from China. I would not have purchased them if I had known before hand that they were from China. I am surprised they were not confiscated upon entry to the USA. Look at American Meadows.com It is an American company specializing in wild flowers and they can tell you how much to buy for the amount of area you want to cover.

Thanks for this information, I am specifically looking for seeds organic NOT from China. Is it just me or is it not very strange that one cannot find pumpkin seeds from the US? Even more curious is why they are almost always from China. I have found them from Mexico but not organic.

They are shipped from China. Start looking for them after a month, they'll get there eventually.

The company is in WI. The item states 100% organic. It does not state where the seeds are from

They are native to South America but grown here in U.S.A. as well. Nothing I have found says they are grown in China.

I wouldn't be concerned regarding the dimensions of the package and be much more concerned that they come from China!!!!! We know there is little to no inspection of their agricultural products which often have many undesirable items added. I took my packages and dumped them into the garbage immediately. I would not advise purchasing these items, but that choice is up to you. Jan

I too was very concerned about country of origin AS THE PRODUCT IS NOT so labeled.I contacted the seller and after two emails back and forth was told: China. I asked if Pumpkin seeds were available from US and was told that this product is not available other than from China. I wish I knew if that was true. I am not happy buying food from China where I know that many ecological conditions are very bad. Oh well, I will use up the big package and in several months try hard again to find this product from U.S. source.

Bee,Yes, the pumpkin seeds/pepitas are from China. They are from vendors who meet international food safety standards.

my seeds came from singapore with no organic certification. only about 30 seeds. and the declaration said it contained "a bag", is it not illegal to ship seeds from one country to another without declaring what your shipping? i only ordered 1 package of cherry tomato seeds, and since there is no paperwork or name of company on package, i am only guessing that they came from this order. very, very bad business ethics.

CHINA!!!! Here is the reply I received from Eden Foods.... "Thank you for your interest in Eden Foods. Eden Pumpkin Seeds are a hull-less variety organically grown on family farms in northeast China, according to the standards established by the NOP (National Organic Program). This variety is not grown in sufficient quantity in other countries (including the U.S. and Mexico) to accommodate the consistent supply needs of Eden Foods. Eden has purchased pumpkin seeds from the same certified organic supplier since 2005 and the quality of the seeds has remained consistently excellent since that time. The water used to irrigate the pumpkin fields is regularly tested and meets the same high quality standards as required for U.S. Drinking Water Standards. The raw pumpkin seeds are BRC (British Retail Consortium) certified, a food safety certification standard that meets the criteria established for the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). As is true for all Eden growers and suppliers, we regularly visit and inspect the farms where the pumpkin seeds are grown, as well as the Michigan processing facility where they are cleaned and bagged. Once cleaned, the finished pumpkin seeds are certified organic by OCIA (Organic Crop Improvement Association), according to the standards established by the NOP".

I have not received the seeds. Be careful of the vendor you use. These were supposed to come from China.

Your seeds are not from china. The species name is Capsicum chinense and has nothing to do with China. It's chinense not chinese!
