OUR VALUES
WHAT WE STAND FOR
High Quality
Quality matters, quality lasts. We try to over engineer every product we make. Our goal is to NEVER have a product break or wear out during normal use. Countless hours spent during the design process, rigorous product testing, and high quality materials help ensure longetivty.
Higher quality materials cost more. There is no way around that. While many products today are build using inferior materials, we try to build proucts like they did 50 years ago. Strong, solid, and made to last.
Our products aren’t cheap – we know that. Given that we want you to get more than your money’s worth and only have to buy a product once.
Locally Made
United States manufacturing is disappearting at a alarming rate. More and more companies are going oversease to manufcature products to cut costs. These cost savings come with other costs – the loss of local jobs, the fostering of sub-standard employment and environmental costs in other countries, and often a lesser quality product.
We don’t believe that the trade-offs are worth it. Given that our products aren’t as cheap as the could be, but we believe their better than they would be if we tried to cut costs.
Whenever possible we try to manufacture our products within the US or Canada keeping jobs local. Every purchase supports not only our business, but many other US and Canadian business.
Fair Priced
We price our products as low as we possibly can. We strive to charge you a fair price while allowing us to make a fair profit to pay our suppliers fairly and ourselves fairly.
Making a quality product locally and innovating new products isn’t cheap. Producing copious amounts of free educational content isn’t cheap. But those are things we are committed to. Each purchase supports our endeavours to further this movement and help you into the future.
Sure there are cheaper off brand products. Sure you can save by low quality Chinese made tools. But there is a cost. We might not have the cheapest product out there and we are OK with that, because we know we have the best product out there. As Benjamin Franklin said “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

The Paper Pot Transplanter in the Field
Your context has to match your business. Choosing an enterprise that doesn’t align with your market, life, land, or climate is one way struggle in business. You might want to raise layers in pasture, but if you are in California and have to irrigate all year - that may be a problem. You may want to be a market gardener but you live in a rental apartment- that may be a problem. Your business might require 4 hours of day to succeed but you only have two free hours - that may be a problem. You may need a farm to generate $250k in sales but the closest population is only 5001 people - that may be a problem. Hurdles can be overcome and you can’t avoid all obstacles, but starting with the wrong enterprise for YOU is a potential death sentence and it CAN be avoided with some thought and planning.

Great close-up from @humblerootsfarm “We are always looking for ways to be more efficient! One way we have found: The #paperpottransplanter
It lets me plant a very nicely germinated stand of plants very quickly. It takes some getting used to and you have to plant the plants when they are at just the right stage, but when timed right, it’s a hoss.” #marketfarming

Give yourself more time than you think you need when making a daily/weekly schedule. It all WILL NOT go as smooth as planned and a packed schedule leaves no room for the inevitable overage.
I think in general we are poor time estimators. We either over value our skills or under value logic and reality. We tend to snapshot estimate low. When you plan to do something it is probably going to take you a (little to a lot) more time to do than you first think. Any fast finishes are bonuses not the norm. Most of the time s*** happens and what was supposed to be simple and fast becomes complex and long. Like this example that I may have life through. 😜
We all make mistakes! 😁👍 Can you see what’s wrong? farmstandrevival ‘s Featured Farm: oldemoonfarm : We believe in the love and celebration of the everyday:
in the food we eat, the flowers we praise and the place we call home.

We grow with gratitude.
