Important Notice
6/25/22: YES, we are OPEN, ... BUT, currently at a 5 day wait to ship...
We have a limited ability to ship orders due to half staffing on labor.
Please allow 1 week
for your order to ship!
Patience, grasshopper. We are a small, family-run business. Customers have gotten spoiled by the big monolithic monopolies and often now suffer from "Amazonian Primeadonna Syndrome," for which there is no vaccine. It's a pandemic of unreasonable expectations. We are not a corporation. Our workers matter. They don't have to pee into bottles, skip breaks, or have any quotas; nor does our business plan expect to burn them out in just three years like at the website giant. Therefore, it takes longer to pack and ship orders in a humanly humane way. Please find happiness in knowing our workers are not exploited just so the consumer can get it faster, faster, faster! Primeadonna free zone.
Be patient, or, do not order right now! Each email asking for updates slows down packing your order.
~ We have temporarily stopped answering our phones to concentrate only upon shipping out backed-up orders. ~
NO phone orders now; NO international orders at this time.
We cannot return any phone messages right now or answer non-order related questions!
We are still answering emails once a day. EMAIL us with your order number if you have an order question.
We thank you for your patience.

We Support American Workers
We offer a variety of USA-made, USA-grown, USDA Certified Organic, local organic, wild- crafted, heirloom, high-quality, premium seeds, herbs, formulas and organic chemicals, and many rare Wicca and Shaman herbs used by indigenous Native American people for thousands of years. I personally grow some of my seeds at my NightShade Urban Farm, responsibly wild-craft others, and buy the remainder from the best sources we can find domestically, and worldwide when necessary. We buy as little as possible from China (other than a a handful of rare TCM seeds). We support American workers first and foremost.
100% Non-GMO Product line.
None of our products contain any Genetically Modified Organisms. We do not use chemicals. We support organic agriculture that is sane, safe and sustainable. We offer one of the best selections of certified organic and non-GEO/non-GMO Corn seeds in the USA. All our heirloom seeds are Open Source in the public domain. We took and embrace the Safe Seed Pledge. |

Here at White Buffalo Trading, our backyard supports over 50 species of plants, one healthy hive of Honey Bees, and a breeding colony of the Gulf Fritillary, a beautiful orange butterfly that lays eggs only upon three species of Passiflora. Our large Purple Passionflower plant supports about 40-60 voracious black and orange caterpillars and about 20 breeding butterflies that chase each other all day right here. They flutter and flirt, flutter and flirt, feed, repeat.
Albert Einstein said: "Without honey bees, human beings would disappear within two years..."
FACT: In just the last 10 years, a full HALF of all of America's honey bees have died! Bee colonies are in crisis (CCD)!
The top three reasons: 'Neonic' pesticides, bee pests/mites, and Big-Ag mono-cropping!
How You can Help Save the Butterflies and the Bees:
Plant more bee-friendly plants and add a dedicated pollinator garden to your landscape. Plant lavender!
Stop using any deadly neonicotinoid pesticides at home and elsewhere.
Complain to the manager of any store selling neonicotinoid pesticides, and boycott that department.
Ask farmers at your local farmer's market if they use neonicotinoid pesticides, and refuse to buy from them if they do.
Become a beekeeper and help to educate others. This issue is as important as Climate Change and Plastic Pollution.
Read more about 'neonics' killing honey bee colonies here (as reported in the European press).
Feb. 14, 2020: Scientists release a new study that finds within 50 years from now, a full One-Third of ALL SPECIES now on Earth will be EXTINCT! Humans were not included, somehow, on the list, but that is still millions of plants and animals. Do you believe in the Darwinian idea of Survival of the Fittest? What if humans are not fit enough to survive?
Save the Bees, please! Save our Heirloom Plants!
and thereby... Save the Humans!

Wasp Primer; more info on beneficial insects:
Learn to distinguish problem insects from beneficial insects. Save the Bees, please.
Honey bees are more than beneficial; they are needed for human life! Call a local Bee Guild to catch honey bee swarms; do not spray them with chemicals and kill a whole hive! A swarm-full of bees are simply looking for a new home, and bee keepers are happy to help. 10,000 buzzing bees all flying around your house can be scary, so call an expert to help. The bees have a retail value of $100-200, so beekeepers are happy to help out for free. About 75% of all bee swarms fail and die unless captured and re-homed by a knowledgeable bee keeper. Save the Bees, please.
Bees are a highly-evolved, cohesive, matriarchal society that supports its one Queen. Bees are one of very few animals on Earth that eats neither plants nor other animals. That in itself is very enlightened. The males, or drones, are no kings! They serve as queen tenders and sperm donors and do not even have stingers to defend themselves. The "worker bees" are all female, with as many as 100,000 lovely ladies in one hive. Bees are also smart. They can count to four, recognize human faces, and with their special "bee dance" they effectively communicate to other bees the exact location of new food sources. Bees deserve our respect and our help.
The 'European Wasp' is known as the European wasp or Hornet or Yellow Jacket and is a stinging insect pest that attacks people without provocation (they are garden friendly, but not people friendly). The Yellow Jacket Queen will winter over in sheltered areas (inside barns, storage cars, attics, garden sheds, garages, etc.) and if killed by a human before spring, that will stop the spread of millions (each hive splits into two every six weeks) of these aggressive wasps that harass picnickers with their unprovoked attacks. The yellow jackets look like a little bullet with all three parts of their body in close proximity and not disjointed. Their color is black stripes over a yellow body.
By contrast, friendly wasps have yellow over a mostly black body. The friendly paper and mud dauber wasps have a distinguishable, narrow joint connecting the rear body parts. The paper wasp has similar coloring to hornets with its yellow and black, but they basically do not attack humans. Often a whole hive of a dozen paper wasps will flock to fresh water from the garden hose or sprinklers to drink and hydrate. (Honey bees prefer mud as their water source.) I have had paper wasps land on me without incident. They only look scary. The gentle Paper Wasps and Mud Daubers are both human-friendly and garden-friendly. Please, do NOT exterminate these beneficial wasps! Learn the visual differences here:
