I don't know if I have bought from Sustainable. I have bought from Fedco, Johnny's, Seed Savers' Exchange, Comstock & Ferre, Whatcom Seed (closest to you of the bunch, I think), Victory Seeds. And a few more that don't come to mind right now.
To put in a bunch of something it is really nice to have a manual seed drill. If you share the expense with three other people you might be able to get one for $30 or less apiece, and it is a back-saver for a number of seeds. I have used it for flax, oats, and peas so far.
Nice thing about the animals is that they give back nitrogen, phosphorus and a bunch of other things that can feed the garden.
Oh, and you may be able to ingratiate yourself with a gardener by letting them have some duck straw (that the ducks have eaten the seeds from and put fertilizer into) for their gardens and compost. If they grow vegetables that the ducks (or you) enjoy, it could be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
