What Is Contract Growing?

Contract growing is all about taking control of your business. When you buy on speculation, you make yourself vulnerable to scarcity and price fluctuation. We will grow your starter kits specifically for you so you know it is available when you need it at a pre-negotiated price.

Why Is Contract Growing Better?

As you know, more work and risk goes into growing a quality liner into a quality 3 gallon starter kit than the rest of a tree's life. With Contract Growing, you take the power of the future into your hands. You mitigate the risk of growing your own liners, and you remove yourself from the rat race of trying to find starter kits at the last minute, when prices may be high and availability low. Price is negotiated at the time of contract, which protects you from market fluctuations and lets you plan your budget in advance.
