We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
Peas are a popular and versatile crop known for their sweet flavor and nutritional benefits. Open-pollinated pea varieties are particularly valued for their ability to maintain genetic diversity and stability over generations. Unlike hybrid varieties, open-pollinated peas are pollinated by natural means such as wind, insects, or self-pollination, allowing the seeds harvested from these plants to produce plants with the same characteristics as the parent plant.
One of the key advantages of growing open-pollinated peas is the ability to save seeds from year to year. This practice is not only cost-effective but also helps preserve heirloom varieties that have been cultivated for generations. These varieties are often more resilient to local growing conditions and pests, making them a great choice for organic and sustainable gardening practices.
Open-pollinated peas come in various types, including shelling peas, snow peas, and snap peas, each offering unique culinary uses. They are rich in essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, fiber, and protein, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Peas can be eaten fresh, frozen, or dried and are often used in soups, salads, stir-fries, and side dishes.
For gardeners looking to maintain biodiversity in their gardens while enjoying a reliable and delicious crop, open-pollinated peas are an excellent choice. They offer the dual benefits of sustainability and high-quality produce, making them a favorite among home gardeners and small-scale farmers alike.
