"Morris and I again want to thank you for the great job you did on getting those totes to us! We really appreciate all the effort it took. Everything went quite smoothly on this end, too, thanks to your efforts in shipping and paperwork, etc. We will pass on your name and Adaptive Plastics’ to anybody else interested in totes."
"I've been using Farm Wholesale tree guards since 1991 and they protect my trees from sunscald and herbicide sprays, and are easy to install. Farm Wholesale's tree guards have saved me time and money." Keith Tucker, of Giant Step Orchard
"I have used Farm Wholesale's corrugated plastic tree guards for 10 years. They have been effective in protecting young trees from herbicides, southwest trunk injury, and mice." Tim Dahle, of Dahle Orchard
March 14, 2001 On our initial conversation about the plastic box we were hoping to get around 5 to 6 uses from them. It now appears we will reuse the box approximately 15 to 20 times and maybe more. I don't have to tell you what kind of savings that translates to me in reduced paper box purchases. UPDATE: October 30, 2009 John L. Butler, American Produce Express
A letter received from Bruce Henne, Owner of Apple Zone We have now received the boxes back on several cycles from these various retailers, up to five cycles. Everyone involved is pleased with the results. We will continue to ship fruit in increasing volumes to these and other customers in the plastic boxes. Our packing foreman, Paul Madden, found the boxes simple and easy to use in the packing and stacking phase. The bottom locking system is easy to assemble, and holds our fruit securely, and retains our optimum 35-degree temperature. Paul also does some of our deliveries to Seattle, and found that the boxes palletized, stored and then loaded easily. The handles are a definite advantage compared to most apple cartons. Ronny Bell, owner/manager of Pioneer Organics, was pleased that the boxes have many potential use cycles, and that his crew readily adapted to their use. Ronny is considering how to use such a box in his various operations, including his organic produce weekly home delivery service. We stacked the boxes 7-high; the apple industry standard palletized height. The boxes were in very good condition when returned, and will require only re-labeling for reuse. We believe we will get a minimum of 10 cycles from each box, and expect to average 15-plus cycles. The corrugated plastic sealed-flute box is being integrated into our operations, and is gaining acceptance with our best customers. We anticipate working with Bruce Tormey of Farm Wholesale to obtain more apple and other fruit and vegetable containers to ship our premium produce." Sincerely yours, Bruce Henne Owner - Apple Zone
March 10, 2010 "The boxes were collected and were used for the first time this past Monday....it’s an understatement to say they were hit...people were blown away...I think they feel a real sense of pride that they are part of the CSA. I’m sure we’ll be ordering more boxes in the near future...we had hoped for 150 subscribers by Dec 2010 but we already have 110 -- all word of mouth -- we have yet to do any advertising/marketing. Think I’ll be needing another truck very soon." Gary, Ma'o Organic Farms, Wai'anae, HI
"I saved both time and money this year by using plant grow tubes from Farm Wholesale. I have tried other plant grow tubes over the past ten years and I feel there is a distinct advantage to the corrugated grow tube because of: *Fast, even growth of the vines with good light transmission and increased temperature inside the tube. *Protection to the young vine from ultraviolet rays and herbicide drift and overspray. *Protection to vines from browsing deer, elk, and rabbits. *Ease of installation and removal of the tubes even on two year old vines. *Ease of training and working with the vines without removing the tubes. *Less space required when transporting the tubes and storing them when not in use. I would recommend using plant grow tubes from Corrugated Plas-Tech Inc. to get young grapevines off to a fast start." - Advanced Vineyard Systems, Bud Beck

"Last year we increased our quantity of cold frames for our winter production program and added twenty-seven new houses. We decided to do endwalls instead of simply covering with poly as we have done on most of our previous houses. We had trialed Solexx on three of our houses in 2001 and had liked how the material held up over time. The same Solexx is still being used on those existing ends and door and looks good. We choose to use the same product on our new installations. The cutting and attaching of the Solexx was a breeze, which made for easy installation. Having end walls and doors on those houses has greatly increased productivity. Our house with doors take a fraction of the time to winterize and make pulling early spring orders a snap. Open the doors, in and out, and no hammers necessary. What a nice change!
