Update January 15, 2026
All seed orders placed in 2025 have shipped via USPS First-Class mail, along with a few placed in early 2026. Email notification will be sent once your seeds have shipped. Barring delays by the USPS, if you live in the USA, and ordered seeds before January 1st, you "should" have your seeds by Monday, January 19th (add 10 to 15 days for international orders). Keep in mind that with winter travel conditions, mail could easily be delayed by a week or so. Before sending an email asking, "where are my seeds", or "what is the tracking number for the seeds I ordered", please read the relevant section at the Store page, specifically the paragraph that begins with, "NOTE ABOUT SPEED".
I am in the home stretch of seed extraction from tomatoes harvested in 2025, with currently 162 batches remaining to process through one or more stages. I am doing the best I can to juggle my limited time between filling seed requests and finishing up with seed saving from the 2025 season ASAP.
Another complexifying factor is the annual Utah Farm and Food Conference, to which I will commence traveling in a few hours. Between preparation time and traveling, this means nearly 6 days of no filling seed orders and no processing of tomatoes. I will do my best to get as many seed orders completed as possible before I leave; but to get completely caught up by then is not within the realm of possibility, even if I skip sleeping and all other indulgences.
Availability status, at least for tomato seeds, will be updated periodically at the "Tomato Seeds" tab from the menu above. This includes frequent updates about availability of seeds harvested in 2025.

A big thanks to Jen and the time and effort she put into this - I really just never expect anything like this!

I attempt to post at least one new blog post every month. For the most recent updates on progress of the efforts of Delectation of Tomatoes to obtain, grow, propagation, promote and preserve heirloom seeds from around the world, please visit:
