In the picture there are alfalfa sprouts, the box I shipped has none, 1/2 the hay is brown or dark brown not all green like the pic, is this normal?

Hay is usually a little green but mostly brown. My rabbits love this stuff even though it is not little bales.

I got a lot of brown in my hay (1/3rd brown), too, but the rabbit still loves it. Judging from the other reviews, we aren't the only ones. It's normal.

I think it's normal for Standlee. I feel like the first time I bought from them I got Timothy Hay. The second time was all orchard grass. I sent it back I'm exchange for... Orchard grass. My rabbit will eat it but it's not hay. The last time I bought it from them I did get hay. I feel like they don't really care if you receive orchard grass or Timothy hay because more often than not it's a mix of both and the mix heavily favors orchard grass. Regardless of whether they mix it or not, it's being advertised as ten pounds of hay but it's not what they ship. It's cost effective and my rabbit eats it, but, I would prefer ten pounds of straight up hay. I think it's normal for Standlee. I feel like the first time I bought from them I got Timothy Hay.

No, there is no alfalfa. Sometimes there a few brown strands, not everything is perfectly green. If your pet doesn't like it, you might be able to send it back.

I have had the problem of old looking hay for the last two shipments with a lot of brown. Good hay isn't brown. It should be as green as the picture at the left. Mine was dull looking with a lot of brown and it was really dusty like they had raked it up off the floor and boxed it. I will be buying from someone else for a while until they can fix the quality problem.

Sounds like they are bad to me. You should contact the seller and/or amazon and let them know so that you can get your money back. None of the ones that I received were bitter. I tried to sprout one also, and it did not sprout. That leads me to believe that these are not truly raw. They were delicious though...

I'm not sure about all sprouting seed at Todd's seeds but I have purchased the alfalfa and broccoli seeds and they are certified organic.

Looking again at their website they seem to have grass fed which is labeled grass fed and some that is not so I would make sure it is labeled grass fed...

No, the fescue that they they use is a hybrid and looks just like the Kentucky blue grass in the mix. My lawn looks like a sod lawn - best in the neighborhood and is very drought resistant. A terrific product. All those reviews that claim the product wont germinate are doing something wrong. It's easy to get this growing.

I bought the mix of,organic alfalfa, daikon radish, red clover, and broccoli. The package does not give percentages however I would guesstimate that they are all equal amounts. Sprouted well and taste great!

I do have some patches of darker green but have now overseeded it all with Shady Nook and can tell that the blend is going to even out the lighter shades of green. Even if there are still a few darker areas, it is better than brown dirt (to me!). :-)

When you receive it, the boxes are green. I wondered the same thing at first. It must be an old picture.

The Alfalfa sprouting seeds I purchased from Todd's Seeds says they are certified Organic although it does not say GMO free but I did go to the site and copied a line from that. "We NEVER deal in GMO seeds. All of our seeds are open-pollinated, mostly heirloom chemical free, and tested for pathogens for your safety. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed" I hope this helps you out. If this is your first time at sprouting I can also offer help on that. It can be kind of tricky.

I have had darker green and lighter green ones. I have also had circular varied colored ones that open up and then can be clicked shut around the support and plant. While the mechanisms differ, all work fine. Go with the darker if it blends in with the plant material better. Otherwise it doesn't matter.

Yup. It isn't as it is pictured. I'm not sure I got the real stuff. I didn't see much/ any impact on any of my flowers or vegetables.

When I purchased this same seed in a larger container is said "certified organic" USDA. The smaller packaging just says organic alfalfa. It may be because it was repackaged in smaller containers. I don't see the larger containers for sale on the site anymore, but I have bought them in the past. It comes from the same source.

I received Aero Grow as a gift for Mother's Day, and love it, as I live in an apartment and do not have access to "land". My basic problem is that the cilantro is NOT growing. I contacted customer service who was extremely courteous, and who mentioned that if there were no sprouts after 4 wks. they would replace the lil' bugger. The bug thing worries me, so I have been keeping a wary eye out for that lil' problem, and will update you accordingly.It is a joy to see the herbs sprout and progress, I planted the Gourmet Herbs and they have all sprouted (except for that obstinate cilantro). :( I think you would enjoy the product immensely! :) I received Aero Grow as a gift for Mother's Day, and love it, as I live in an apartment and do not have access to "land".

States on the package label that all ingredients are organic and non-gmo. It says nothing about sprouted.

I have never noticed any thing like that on the outside of the box but I have never looked either. It just comes in a big generic brown box. I have another one on its way I will pay attention and try to re answer the question when it get here.

The other comment that the bean from Amazon is not as fresh as those from the farm is completely untrue. These beans you buy from Amazon are directly shipped from the farm.

The raised garden bed I received is a hunter green color (dark green). That is not to guarantee yours will be, but mine is. = )
