About Paperpot

Want to do the same amount of work in less time?

You’ve come to the right place.

We believe that too many farmers are spending too much time doing things that could be done A LOT faster. 

We’re trying to change that.  

Tools like the Paperpot Transplanter, the Kwik Klik™️ Seeder, and the Jang Seeder enable farmers to do more work with less labor.

When your greatest resource as a farmer is your time, why waste it?

We created Paperpot Co. to help get Paperpot technology into the hands of farmers affordably.  We wanted to help new and existing growers make the best use of this and other market gardening tools.  Paperpot Co. is now one of the leading suppliers of small-farm productivity tools in the world.

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 longevity.

Higher quality materials cost more.  There is no way around that.  While many products today are build using inferior materials, we try to build products 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.

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 endeavors to further this movement and help you in 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.”
