Why choose The Sproutpeople?

We want you to grow your own food - it's fun and it's liberating. We want to sell you seeds for the rest of your life - so we offer only the finest seeds available. We are committed to making your sprouting experience as perfect as possible, so in addition to the most extensive list of seeds anywhere (no foolin') - we offer a wide range of sprouters and other tools, thorough growing instructions, recipes and complete "technical support".

Our goal is to provide the Home Sprouter with everything needed to grow the finest sprouts anywhere in the world. The seeds we sell you are the same seeds we sprout.

Between 1993-2003, we grew over 200 TONS of sprouts (1,500 pounds of sprouts weekly at our peak in 1998) - by hand. Our seeds soaked in buckets and our sprouts were rinsed and drained over a sink, 2-3 times daily. Nowadays we grow on our kitchen counter in the same sprouters we sell - of course using the same seeds we sell.

Because we grew so many sprouts for so long and grow sprouts like you do - we are better able to understand and anticipate your needs.

We Grow 'Em - We Know 'Em!

 

Why Organic?

The more organic seeds we sell - the greater is our demand for organic seed - causing farmers to create a greater supply of organic seed to meet our greater demand - the greater the rate land is farmed organically - the greater the planet feels - the greater our children's children's children will feel.

We only use the phone for emergencies.
Back in 2001 we were still using the phone. One day I was talking to a long-time customer while pushing my daughter on the swing in our backyard (this is what a mom n' pop business is like on the internet). It dawned on me that my priorities were severely messed up, so I stopped using the phone. I love to talk and I love to help, but my family would never see me if I picked up the phone again.

The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-)
We are quite fast and VERY thorough. We love to help.

We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, mom n' pop. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001.

We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed.

We appreciate your business more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here.

Thanks again for your patronage and your many kind words.
