Q. Why organic?

A. Certified Organic products are more in demand now than ever. Certified Organic products are specifically sought after by your most loyal customers, typically command higher price points and therefore more revenue, and create long term customer loyalty. Organic is just cool.

A. Handy Pantry Sprouting is certified by the USDA. Organic certification means that we are regularly inspected and pass rigorous standards for organic certification. You can learn more about it from the USDA: http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/indexIE.htm

Q. What is the shelf life of your sprouting seeds?

A. Most seeds will sprout with a very high germination rate for several years. After about the second or third year, the germination rate begins to decline a bit. However keep in mind that seeds are designed by nature to keep for extraordinary lengths of time and still sprout. Just like the wheat (a strain called “kamut”) found in Egyptian tombs which still sprouted after thousands of years.

Q. Is there a minimum order, contract or any commitment?

A. No. There is no minimum order size, no contract or any length of commitment. We are confident that our products are a great fit for your store.

Q. Were do your seeds come from?

A. We source our seeds from a variety of US based Certified Organic suppliers. Most of our seeds are produced in the US or Canada. Some seeds, like Mung Bean, are imported from China.

Q. Do you ship out of the U.S.

A. Due to customs issues, we don’t ship our seeds outside of the US.

Q. What if I want a bigger display latter on?

A. Contact your sales rep for details on upgrading a display.

Q. Where should I display your products for best results?

A. Most stores display our sprouting supplies prominently in the produce section where they tend to do the best. Some stores have also found that prominent floor space in floral or other high-traffic areas works well. The bottom line is that sprouting supplies need to be merchandized like any other products you carry. Display them prominently and keep your rack fully stocked.
