Ordering Information

Our Guarantee

At High Mowing Organic Seeds, we want all of our customers to be fully satisfied with the quality of both our seed and our service. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, please let us know and we will promptly offer to replace your purchase or credit your account.

In keeping with the custom of the seed trade, High Mowing Organic Seeds shall not be liable for more than the purchase price of the seed. High Mowing Organic Seeds does not cover return shipping costs. All special orders are non-refundable.

Backordered and Out of Stock Items

Farming is a risky business, and sometimes unpredictable things happen. It is possible that a shipment of seeds could be delayed for reasons such as weather, test results, or other uncontrollable setbacks. If an item you want to buy is listed as “backordered” it means it is not currently available, but will be available in the future. (If an item is listed as “out of stock” it means it is not currently available and is not likely to come back into stock until next growing season. Items listed as Temporarily Out of Stock are not ready to ship, but we expect to fill existing orders for these items in the near future, based on the Return to Stock Estimated Date.) You can still place an order for backordered items, and High Mowing will contact you to let you know when they are available to ship. We try to estimate available shipping dates for backordered items whenever possible. If you have more questions about specific backordered items, please call us at (866) 735-4454.
