I try to support local businesses whenever possible. I like that I can get to know them and their history in the area. I also like that they are a part of the community and often support it in various ways. As an extension of this kind of thinking, I like to find out about the sites on the Internet that I do business with as well. Because the Internet can make things feel more impersonal, I often research potential companies before I spend my money there.
I do the same for companies that would like me to advertise their site or give a discount to the Preparedness Club. I’m not saying I have to know them well, but I try to find out if they’re shady and how they treat their customers. Because of this, I have decided that I would give companies who advertise on the site or support the Preparedness Club the chance to let you get to know them a little better. To do this, I will make a post from time to time, giving them the chance to do a little question and answer session with me.
- How did your company get started and what was its main goal?
We never intended to be in the greenhouse business. We were in the trailer sales and storage building business. Then one day a customer asked if we could get him a greenhouse. After much calling around, I discovered that it was going to cost him $8,000 for a small one. I figured I could build him one for 1/2 that. After that other people started wanting one too. 2 years later we were out of the trailer business and building Greenhouses full time. - What major changes have you seen since then?
More people would like to be self-sufficient. This shaky economy has everyone worried and wanting to prepare for whatever the future may hold. - What would you like people to know about your company?
We are Christian owned and operated. - How can your company help people to be better prepared?
Building them a greenhouse that will feed their family and last a lifetime.
Chris Say’s: These are some very well built greenhouses, stronger than any I have seen. They offer a 10% on all purchases to members of the Preparedness Club; on larger greenhouses this could be hundreds of dollars.
