ORDER NOW AND SUPPORT HURRICANE RECOVERY ORDER NOW ALL PROCEEDS FROM SEED PURCHASES WILL BE DONATED TO SUPPORT URGENT HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORTS IN PUERTO RICO AND BEYOND

 

Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company may be located on a small farm near a small town in rural Missouri, but we are neither uninformed nor complacent about the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes in other parts of the world. Our hearts go out to those who have lost everything except their lives, and our hearts go out to the families of those who actually did lose their lives.

We want to do more and we want you to help us do more. Many of these people need IMMEDIATE assistance of food, water, and medicine. It takes MONEY to get those things to them. In an effort to get that immediate aid to those who need it, Baker Creek is running a special for an entire week in which we will donate 100% of the seed sales to World Help, who will distribute supplies to Puerto Rico and other areas damaged by these horrific hurricanes. All sales proceeds from all orders placed today, September 29, through next Friday, October 6, will be donated to World Help to help them move in food, water, medicine, and other needed supplies.

 

We also are donating home garden restart kits to any individual or family who has lost their gardens to these horrific storms. If you or someone you know has lost a garden in the hurricane and could use a start up seed kit, please send your story and contact information to seeds@rareseeds.com and to the attention of “donation” so that we can send you a starter kit.

 

Our friend Rick Young of World Help says, “The destruction is unfathomable in Puerto Rico!!” He elaborates, “The electric grid will need to be completely replaced, no cell towers, no electricity, no power lines. This will be a major problem for over 3 million people, almost 2 million Americans. This is not for a few days or weeks but for months and years. It will take up to 2 years under normal conditions to completely fix the infrastructure.” He further explains what many of us see on the news: Barbuda had to be evacuated and remains uninhabitable. Ninety percent of the buildings were damaged in Dutch St. Martin.

 

Please place your seed order online at www.rareseeds.com. All proceeds will go to assist hurricane victims from online seed orders only. Email us your story and contact information at seeds@rareseeds.com for a starter kit if you lost your garden in the hurricane or you know someone who did.

 

Thanks so much for helping reach people in the greater Caribbean, both financially and with seeds. Your order today will help get families back on track.

Please share on social media and with your friends and family.

 

God Bless,

 

Jere Gettle and The Baker Creek Family
