I'd like to buy bulk seed for a large garden (110 x 150ft). Does
anyone know of a good online company? Also, I'll need organic
fertilizer for a large area.

Go to your local Agway.


Try Fedco. A bit past their order times but check them out for next
year.


Past time depends on growing zone... Agway where I live has bulk seed in
stock from well before planting time to well after, people plant at
different times depending on elevation. We don't know where the OP
resides or what the OP intends to plant. To be perfectly frank I can't
imagine that someone with nearly a 1/3 acre garden has to ask where to buy
seed... seems to me they'd be able to tell us.


Fedco is not a year round supplier as far as their stock is concerned.
Orders go in early - January and February - then shipped out for growing
season. Later orders depend on excess stock when/if available. They
specialize in organic and heritage type varities. But there is also Moose
tubers (potatoes - onions) and bulbs (fall planted) and trees and shrubs
(including fruit bearing as well as ornamentals) If you live in their area
(Maine) there is even pickups available. It is an interesting and
informative site even if you don't order.
