Customer Testimonials

I am a very old and very happy customer of yours! Some 7 to 8 years ago I got some of your fluted glazing and made the best coldframes out of them. They are still going strong today and have held up to the harshest of weather conditions here in upstate New York.

A happy customer in Eastern Washington used Farm Wholesale's double-walled greenhouse glazing to cover his custom-designed family pool enclosure. The diffused light and humidity from the pool make for an excellent environment for plants and people.

Dear Mike, I have suffered from Seasonally Affected Depression for as long as I can remember, which is longer than they have had a name for the problem. Every January, I actually used to start canceling appointments, hurrying home from work at night and making plans to hole up at home every evening and weekend all winter long and ride out the darkness until the spring came. Among the reasons I chose your greenhouse were the insulating and light diffusing qualities of the corrugated plastic covering. I didn't realize however, the affect that this light-spreading quality of the covering would have. The first winter, I began to spend more and more time in the greenhouse. Then, I began to realize that my usual depression was lessened the more I worked in the greenhouse. Since our Pacific Northwest winter weather usually requires fun typhoon regalia to work outside, I had no idea that the available light could be sufficient to lift my spirits. Even on gray days without my overhead lighting on in the greenhouse, the entire inside of the greenhouse seemed to glow, and if you added the additional comfort of the electric heater which more than keeps the greenhouse cozy, well, I wasn't spending much time in my house. It is much like being inside of a fluorescent light tube-with the curved ceiling of my Quonset overhead like the curve of the round tube -and seemingly surrounded by soft glowing white light. I always felt invigorated after working for hours in the greenhouse. More than once, my husband had to ask me just when I planned to come back in the house? (Answer: "In a minute, honey, I just have to get those three other trays planted .... )

Dear Farm Wholesale Persons; THE GREENHOUSE IS UP! It stands straight, tall and proud. So do I. Let me give you a picture. I am a 71-year vintage lady. My sister is close to that. We did it with me worrying and Sister holding. I read - no, STUDIED directions every night then reread them as we worked. We love it and it will be full of tomatoes by May.

Dear Sirs,
In Sept of 2000, I purchased from you a 12' x 8' 7'6" wood Gable GH. I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your product and that I have recommended it to several other people...We recently had a wind storm with winds checked at 85 MPH. The greenhouse didn't budge a hair. We also had a snow and ice storm with temperatures of 15 degrees for four days. I had a small electric heater with blower inside and the temperature never got below 50 degrees...In addition to moving all of our outdoor plants into the greenhouse for winter, we are enjoying lettuce, radishes, spinich, and a whole hole host of herbs grown this winter. Thanks again for your product and your assistance. Your staff has always been curteous and efficient.

Here in Belgrade Montana, it is not uncommon for temperatures to dip below -20 °F for a week or two at a time. Our official hardiness zone is 4, but zone 3 plants survive. Our mean number of continuous frost-free days are less than 85 and the median temperature is about 46 °F. The makes for a very short growing season. The Greenhouse is heated on a thermostat set at 40 °F. The thermostat is attached to a small Pelonis ceramic heater. This rarely turns on during the day. In fact, on a sunny day, the automatic vents crack open, even when outside temps are only 10 °F! The low cost of heating the greenhouse means that the season can be extended to almost ten months!

The panels I have purchased from Farm Wholesale make the greenhouse much easier to heat than when it was covered with plastic sheeting. The panels are easy to work with, and very rugged. They transmit high-quality light that the plants really thrive in. The fig bush and grape vine are two years old. Last year, we had about 20 figs. I had never eaten a fresh fig before. Last year I trained the Himrod grape vine into three main branches. The south-branch is over 17' long! I first noticed the flowers in March. There are almost 50 clusters of grapes this season.
