RIMOL Greenhouses come solidly built out of excellent-quality materials, and 100% of our greenhouses are entirely handled, built, and shipped from right here in the U.S.A. We’re proud to work with a chain of national distributors to bring our greenhouse systems to growers all over the country. Our headquarters remain here in Hooksett, NH, where we’ve been since the very beginning. Give us a call and see for yourself just why our customers keep on coming back.

Tilth Soil is producing some of the highest quality soils out there. That's why I included their work in my book and use their products on my farm. Tilth Soil makes composts and potting mixes approved for use in organic operations. Their living compost is made from food waste they haul and collect themselves and is the cornerstone of all of their blends. Tilth Soils take regenerative and organic growing to a new level. For more information on their products including bulk ordering and their nationwide shipping visit their website.
