TO PURCHASE SEED AND GEAR:
- Items available for purchase are in the Online Order Form to the right. Review the descriptions for details about each item.
- Select the quantity of the items you wish to purchase, then click “Add” (items will appear in your cart automatically)
- Check out our new PSRF logo merchandise—show your support for clean, healthy waters with PSRF-branded sweatshirts, tees, beanies, and totes!

- When you have selected all of your items, scroll down to the bottom of the Order Form, and click “Continue” to review your cart and check out.
- REQUIRED AT CHECKOUT: You must provide the physical planting location (street address or parcel/lot number). We must collect this information as your purchase is covered under PSRF’s transfer permit—ensuring your seed comes with a verified clean bill of health.

- OPTIONAL PROCESSING FEES: Our payment processor, Zeffy, automatically includes an optional contribution to “Help keep Zeffy free for Puget Sound Restoration Fund.” This is NOT a donation to PSRF. If you do not wish to cover processing fees, simply select “OTHER” from the dropdown menu to remove the optional amount from your total.
- After completing your purchase, you will receive an email receipt confirming your order. We’ll have your order on file at pickup, but saving a copy on your phone or bringing a printed copy is recommended.
Online orders are preferred to reduce processing time, but if you wish to submit your order manually or pay by check, you may download and fill out this order form, then email it to Wendy Welch at wendy@restorationfund.org.
PSRF Provides Local Gardeners with State-Certified Shellfish Seed
All of our shellfish seed is sourced from state-certified supplier: Taylor Shellfish Farms.
Seed should only be purchased from certified, approved sources. Uncertified seed can introduce disease or invasive species into local waters.
Grocery store-bought oysters should never be placed on the beach. Shellfish with unknown origins or from outside your area—even from another basin within Washington—may carry harmful pathogens.
Thank you for sourcing responsibly and following all guidelines to help protect our local waters!
