Update February 15, 2026
All seed orders placed before February 7th have shipped. 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 February 7th, you "should" have your seeds by Monday, February 24th (add 10 to 15 days for international orders). My scheduled plans are to package and ship all seed orders placed before February 13th by Wednesday the 18th. Tomorrow, February 16th, is a federal holiday (President's Day) with no mail pickup or delivery by the USPS.
Keep in mind that with winter travel conditions, mail could easily be delayed by a week or more. 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".
Also, it might be worth keeping up with the latest Service Alerts at USPS.com:

The current headline reads:
Severe winter weather systems and storm cleanup impacting operations
I will try my best to stay "caught up" (fewer than 5 days from placing seed order until seeds ship). Of course many people, including myself, hope for much faster service. Insights into the full process are discussed in various blog posts.
I am also in the home stretch of seed extraction from tomatoes harvested in 2025, with currently 128 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.
I returned from the annual Utah Farm and Food Conference very late on January 19th. Although I managed to package a few hundred seed packets during the event, my main focus was the conference; so functionally, I lost ground in terms of catching up with seed requests, as I was "out of commission" (no seed orders completed and no seed extraction) for 105 hours. Not to mention the 30+ hours of preparation work.
The next "Big Event" coming up is the Ogden Seed Exchange. Between several days of preparation and traveling, this event will also essentially put me out of commission for about a week.
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!
