What are Hayefield's shipping and return policies?

Updated

Hayefield ships to U.S. addresses only. Shipping is free via USPS Ground Advantage when your order subtotal is $35 or more; below that threshold, shipping costs $5.85. The site also publishes a dedicated Returns, Refunds, and Reviews page, so returns and refunds are handled under a stated policy rather than case by case—check that page for the specific terms before ordering.

Shipping: what you need to know

  • Destinations: U.S. addresses only. The site does not list international shipping options.
  • Carrier and service: USPS Ground Advantage.
  • Free shipping threshold: Order subtotal of $35 or more.
  • Below the threshold: $5.85 flat shipping.
  • When shipping is calculated: Shipping and taxes are calculated at checkout, so the cart total you see before checkout may not include them.

The threshold is based on the subtotal—the value of the seeds themselves—not on the total after shipping or taxes are added. If your cart sits just under $35, adding one more packet is often the difference between paying $5.85 and paying nothing for shipping.

Returns and refunds

Hayefield maintains a Returns, Refunds, and Reviews page alongside its Ordering Information, Shipping Information, and Terms and Conditions pages. That means returns and refunds follow a written policy you can read in advance. Because the site's own text does not restate the return window, eligibility conditions, or who covers return shipping, go to that page for the binding details rather than assuming a standard retail policy applies.

One relevant caveat from the site itself: seeds are living things, and the owner states that performance in your climate and growing conditions may vary from hers, and that she cannot guarantee your results will match hers. That framing matters when you think about refunds—germination and growth outcomes are explicitly described as variable, so read the refund terms with that in mind.

Why quantities and timing affect your order

Hayefield's seeds are grown and collected at the farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, not bought in and repacked. The owner notes that weather and wildlife make quantities of many varieties limited, and advises grabbing something you want while you can. Newly gathered seeds are listed under a "Collected in 2026" section, with priority given to species best sown immediately.

Practical implication: if a variety you want is in stock, waiting can mean it sells out, and a sold-out item can't be added to push your cart over the $35 free-shipping line.
