Best price for alfalfa sprouting seeds

I spent a long time this week checking out all the websites selling alfalfa sprouting seeds, and this one has the best prices.

http://www.mvseeds.com/index.html

(Note:  I think Walton Feed  http://waltonfeed.com/  is the closest in price, they may be even cheaper when we do the stake order.  But I didn't want to wait for the next stake order.)

Mountain Valley Seed Company sells 1 pound of seeds in a mylar bag for $5.48, and 5 pounds of seeds in a poly bag for $22.85.  They do not sell sprouting seeds packed inside cans, but a man there said they are planning to start that sometime soon.


I also bought Mung bean sprouting seeds, those are the bean sprouts that are in oriental foods.  I thought it was stupid to keep buying those from the grocery store in cans, when I could sprout them myself.  The Mung bean sprouting seeds cost $4.35 for 1 pound, and $13.95 for 5 pounds.


GARDEN SEEDS:

The one type of seeds they sell in cans are their "Canned Garden Seeds" for $55.  This contains 16 packets of 100% non-hybrid seeds, which keeps for more than 5 years if kept in cool temperatures (don't keep it in the attic or garage.)  I heard Jim Kennard, the Garden Doctor, talk about it on his radio show, and he said it was the best value for anyone who wants to save seeds for future emergency use.  (Again, I think Walton Feed is cheaper for their canned garden seeds.)
