History

According to the company's About Us page, Baker Creek's story began with Jere Gettle's early love of gardening, inspired by his grandmothers Bertha and Opal in Idaho's Boise Valley. Jere planted his first garden at three years old, and after his family moved to the Missouri Ozarks when he was 12, his fascination with rare and open-pollinated plants grew. The page states that this passion led to the founding of Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, growing a small Missouri seed catalog into a community reaching gardeners around the world. The company now hosts the National Heirloom Expo, which after 15 years has come home to its Mansfield, Missouri farm.
