| I am a newbie to onion planting but am an expert in customer service. I taught it as a consultant to various firms in NY City till I retired a few years ago. I placed an order to Dixondale Farms on the internet about 6PM at night EST. At about 10AM the next morning I received a call from this very delightful young woman at Dixondale Farms informing me that my order was received but it said to ship immediately. She said my planting date was not for two more weeks and was I sure I wanted it shipped now. In my biggest macho tone I said yes (like I really knew what I was talking about). She said OK and "thank you" for shopping at Dixondale Farms and call us with any problem. Don't know how this woman arranged it but my package arrived the next day. Your talking 2 days from Texas to Maryland. The bulbs and plants were twice the size as Bonnie's whom I though about buying from.
To end the story. I highly recommend these people both for the quality of their product and especially for their customer service. If buying from them remember to order 2 bunches. It cuts the price right in half.
Dont ever say this about a vendor and don't get no kickback from them but I highly recommend them.

| This afternoon, I just planted 4 bundles of their assorted intermediate day length, and gave away two. Last summer, a neighbor gave me a couple of bundles of long-day length, and they sure took their sweet time forming up, but then, wow. Huge. Big Daddy, the size of a soft ball, aand they were wonderful. Any comments? Around here all this kinda stuff is word of mouth. |

| Tom, I have read so many wonderful things about Dixondale Farms, besides your 'great' experience. You may want to rate them here at Garden Web as well, on the fairly new Rate and Review Vendors forum. Sue |

| I hate to pile on, but I have had such excellent experiences with Dixondale Farms over the past few years that I am compelled to do so. I used to start my own onions from seed, but no longer. Dixondale has enough variety (even for us long day folks), and their support is excellent; I have always been THRILLED with my orders from them. So now I can save flourescent lamp footprint for other seeds! |
