I had a similar experience. I ordered seeds in Feb 2016 and received them in late April/May of that year. I met Carol in July 2016 at The Seed Savers Conference, and found her to be delightful. I ordered $80.00 worth of seeds in Early Feb 2017, and included $20 donation. The check was cashed the following week. I never received the seeds, and emailed her 4 times with no response. I emailed her in September and told her that I would be visiting my son who lives in the area, and offered to help her fill her seed orders. No reply. I am so sorry that she has fallen upon hard times. If I lived closer, I would be happy to help her. It seems that others would also. Her seeds are unbelievably fantastic, which makes the disappointment of never receiving the order even worse. It's a shame that she is unable to partner with someone who can help her with distribution. Her talent and contribution to plant breeding is precious, and is being wasted. I'm sure that many would help her, if she becomes comfortable with accepting help.
