I found out about you just yesterday, and so glad I did! I ordered tomato seeds, and an hour later got the notice that they had shipped already! I have NEVER experienced such fast shipping! And such a reasonable price for shipping! If I ordered from Territorial Seeds in Cottage Grove, 10-15 miles south of Eugene, shipping for just one packet of seeds would be $7 or $8. I also enjoyed so much reading about your background, and what you’re doing. I’ll definitely be checking the rest of your website!
I was especially interested in finding seeds for this particular tomato, as yesterday I had read rave reviews about the Kumato tomato being always available at Trader Joe’s, and how consistently delicious they were, so of course I wanted to try them. I might be a bit late (ordered them April 5, 2024) for this year, but will try a few seeds to see what happens, and plant more next year. So, this review is definitely “pre-tomato,” but I wanted to give a review for my initial interaction with the Chai Family Foundation, which was just outstanding. Very highly recommended!
