Go Raw - China's finest seeds
Yes, the other negative reviews are true, these seeds are in fact procured from China. A company rep responding to another review tried to alleviate our concerns by explaining that China has stricter organic certification criteria than the US and that the seeds are grown in an unnamed "beautiful mountain village". How responsible for go raw to, in the interest of its customers, go all the way to China to procure the finest quality ingredients. Apparently US organic farmers can't supply enough seeds for their operation. Of course, the packing suggests the product is from the US, but I guess something can be "handmade" in the US even if it comes from China. My message to Go Raw is that if you feel China has stricter standards than the US, you would be wise to procure as much organic food as possible for personal use from there. As for me, I'll stick to US-grown foods. Moreover, at this point, I will avoid all products from Go Raw as I have lost faith in the integrity of their operations all together.
