#bakercreek — Public Fediverse posts

A reminder that Baker Creek / Rareseeds are a bunch of right wing nutjobs. And this post will explain why.

First, second, and third, they just regularly utilize racist tropes and stereotypes to sell seeds.

Nextly, at their yearly "buy our seeds" festival in 2019 they were going to invite Cliven Bundy as a guest speaker.

If that name sounds familiar, he is a fascist right wing crazy who got into an armed standoff with the federal government for illegally grazing his cattle on public land, claimed his family has rights to the land and bulldozed an indigenous Paiute site and wildlife sanctuary.

It was only after this completely blew up on social media that they took him off their guest speaker list.

If you're looking for a reputable seed supplier, look elsewhere.

They have since removed him for "political" reasons.

"I know the political stuff kind of gets in the way, but we’re all about gardening and particularly growing rare seeds," said a spokesperson. #bakercreek needs to get their priority straight! Watermelons are not more important than eschewing white supremacists.
