I also did not receive my $135 (including donation) order from Fertile Valley Seeds in 2019 though my cheque was cashed. Very disappointed. Hope Carol is ok.
Like everyone else would love to have some update (if I can't get the order or a refund) on what happened but my emails and snail mail letter have gone unanswered.
Anyway, I am trying to find Carol's Goldini Zucchini and Bigger Better Butternut Squash.
If anyone wants to trade I have Carol's Sweet Meat Oregon Homestead Squash seeds and her Candystick Dessert Delicata Squash seeds that I ordered through Adaptive Seeds and grew in Ontario.
Thanks!

I'm hoping to grow enough Bigger Better Butternut this year that I can offer it through Baker Creek and Seedwise next year.

I'm slowly putting together a list of alternative seed sources. It is still very much a work in progress, but you can see it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VHZQh4H8KMG19R6JCbMlh0kPGmjH6sDJuJD-Y0ziATE/edit?usp=sharing

Ellendra, I've recently discovered a number of the varieties Carol Deppe talks about in the Resilient Gardener available at resilientseeds.com, in case you'd like to add that resource to your spreadsheet. I'm looking forward to ordering from them for the next season, as they're near-ish me. Sadly, no Goldini. But some of the beans and more. Thank you for putting together this list!

Quail Seeds in northern CA has Bigger Better Butternut, Beef-Bush Black Beans, Magic Manna flour corn, and Cascade Ruby-Gold flint corn all bred by Carol, as well as Gronninger Blue Kale and other eat-all greens Carol recommends. Those who were familiar with Carols offerings at Fertile Valley will recognize many of her recommended varieties, like Bronze Goldring (Crispy Crunchy Green-Gold) lettuce, Russian Hunger Gap kale, and Kentucky Wonder beans.

They also carry Jonathan Spero's Open-Source sweet corns and a large selection of other open source seeds. Non-hybrid non-gmo sweet corn is hard to find, and Jonathan, who died last year, was one of the giants in the organic, open-source seed breeding world. He was a founding member of the Open Source Seed Initiative, and served on the board, which Carol Deppe now chairs. If he had been a writer as well as a breeder, his seeds would be a equally sought-after.

Quail has a page of perennial vegetables too, as well as heritage wheat and barley, gluten-free grains, heirloom poppyseed poppies, and more. Well worth checking out
