Are these seeds safe to take internally, such as eating the seeds or making a tincture from them?

Hi Andrea, These are organic, untreated seeds. I personally have eaten them a few times to test them out, and, well, I’m still here. r

Will the wild carrot flowers drop seed and essentially reseed themselves? I am thinking of using them with other flowers in a meadow area.

Hi Melissa, they do, and there’s a good probability that they’re already there. r

Do you harvest the seeds late summer beginning fall? Planning to use these seeds as a form of birth control. Also wondering where they are grown?

The Queen Anne’s Lace seed is grown here on our farm. We harvest midsummer to fall, and we’re done for the year, we are selling only seed from the recent crop. r

Hi Richo! Such an honor to ask you a question as you are so knowledgeable and generous! Is this the Queen Anne’s Lace that has the red dot in the middle that I am familiar with?
Thank you so much for all that you do!!

Hi Ellie, Yes, they generally do have a purple dot in the middle, it is supposed to differentiate Queen Anne’s Lace, which is really the common wild carrot, from poisonous lookalikes. Richo

Sandra House –
Is this the true Daucus carota and not the false Queen Anne’s lace that many seed companies carry? I only want the one that is not poisonous.

Hello Sandra, Yes, this is true Daucus carota. It is no more poisonous than a carrot.
