For many years, folks asked me: “Don’t you have a company logo?” And we really didn’t, as I just never took the time to come up with one…we just had “Earth Tools” written out in a blocky font, and that passed for a logo.

Finally, though, I decided to put some effort into it, and I hired my sister-in-law Trina Peiffer (my wife’s twin sister) to make a line drawing of the Earth Tools sign we have here at the shop. This sign is made out of a 4-foot length of Eastern Red Cedar log; the letters are carved with a chain saw.

I made this sign about 15 years ago (below is a photo). I figured this was a logo with some “meaning”…not just some arbitrary design. Hope you like it!

Due to the COVID-19 (Corona virus) global pandemic for the past 2 years, we are experiencing a MUCH higher demand for small farming/gardening equipment than usual. This higher demand, coupled with the fact that most our equipment manufacturers "used up" the reserves they had of goods & raw materials LAST year (PLUS had to deal with mandatory shutdowns due to Covid) means that the supply chain for most of the goods we offer has suffered greatly...increased demand + reduced supply is a BAD combination!! While some companies take advantage of a situation like this with "price gouging", we will still continue to offer the same discounted prices on equipment as we always have. However, wait times for equipment are GREATLY increased due to the slowdowns in manufacturing and shipping! There is nothing WE can do about this...we currently have over TWO MILLION DOLLARS worth of goods on order from our suppliers, and we can do nothing but wait. We appreciate your business and your patience, and we’re working as hard as we can to get orders out as fast as possible, WITHOUT cutting corners on the proper equipment setup, prep & checkout that we are famous for. ORDERS ARE SHIPPED ON A FIRST-FULLY-PAID, FIRST-SHIPPED BASIS. THE MAIN TAKEAWAY IS: BE PREPARED TO WAIT 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GET EQUIPMENT. IF YOU WAIT UNTIL GARDENING SEASON TO ORDER EQUIPMENT, YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY **NOT** GET IT FOR THAT GARDENING SEASON.
