Terms of service
Forms of Payment Accepted
Our website accepts credit cards only. We offer Apple Pay, PayPal and Shop Pay Installments. Please, read our Refunds and Returns Policy.
All transactions are processed securely via Shopify Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Shop Pay Installments. Your payment data is handled in accordance with each provider’s terms and privacy policies.
Sales Policy
Our seeds are guaranteed to germinate at or above federal germination minimums when given the proper moisture, temperature, and light conditions required for the variety. If you believe that you supplied the correct germination environment and did not receive suitable germination (as indicated on the upper-right-hand corner of the packet), please contact us so we can address the problem. Our liability is limited to the cost of sale of the packet of seed--not the value of a harvestable crop.
Tax Policy
Hudson Valley Seed Company collected New York state tax, Pennsylvania State tax and Philadelphia Municipality tax for most of our time as a business. As of 2018, we are required to collect and remit sales tax in all states that require such. Tax will be determined for you automatically at checkout.

Mobile Terms of Service
(Last updated: April 28, 2025)
The Hudson Valley Seed Company mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by Hudson Valley Seed Co. (“Hudson Valley Seed Company”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
By consenting to Hudson Valley Seed Company’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of Hudson Valley Seed Company through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).
You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with Hudson Valley Seed Company. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.
We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.
You may opt out of the Service at any time. Text the single keyword command STOP to +18443795562 or click the unsubscribe link (where available) in any text message to cancel. You'll receive a one-time opt-out confirmation text message. No further messages will be sent to your mobile device, unless initiated by you. If you have subscribed to other Hudson Valley Seed Company mobile message programs and wish to cancel, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms.
For Service support or assistance, text HELP to +18443795562 or email mail@hudsonvalleyseed.com.
We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the Service at any time and will notify you of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received, and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.
The wireless carriers supported by the Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. If you get a new mobile number, you will need to sign up for the program with your new number.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or Service.
We respect your right to privacy. To see how we collect and use your personal information, please see our Privacy Notice.
