Tip # 18901 Finding Materials For Our Milan Pa Nursery: Landscaping Rocks and Boulders

The following newsletter is an example of how we entered new markets and obtained sources of raw materials:

********************************************************************* Highland Hill Farm of Fountainville (Bucks County), and Milan (Bradford County) Pa. is a wholesale and retail nursery. We are interested in selling as part of our nursery, landscape rocks, stones and boulders. We would be interested in suggestions from you as to what would be our best moving products to carry. We also want to know your prices for shipping trailer loads of stone that would be sent to both the Milan and Fountainville Pa locations. We have equipment and facilities to unload at both locations. Do you allow shipments on consignment basis? What are the terms that you offer? We also would be interested in bartering for product with trees and shrubs that we raise at our nursery as our funds are limited and we do not have a large budget to carry inventory with. We do have a large inventory of available plant materials for trading purposes. We have a large customer base and have been in the nursery trade for 25 years. Your help would be appreciated , Bill Hirst 215 651 8329 *********************************************************************

This newsletter was sent to 35 rock and flagstone quarries in North Eastern Pa by email. It resulted in three offers from quarries offering us inventory on consignment basis with no up front costs. Its a no cost way to add inventory to a sales yard. If you have ideas such as this please contact us. Sharing information makes us all better.
