Introducing F.W. Horch Sustainable Goods & Supplies

Looking for a store that sells better products for you and your planet? You've come to the right place!

F.W. Horch Sustainable Goods & Supplies is a locally owned store in downtown Brunswick, Maine. We provide trustworthy advice and practical products that you can use to help save the planet.

I'm Fred Wilson Horch, the founder, former corporate attorney, computer geek, private pilot, and professional environmentalist. Moving to Brunswick in 2002, where my wife is an assistant professor of neurobiology at Bowdoin College, I helped launched green electricity in Maine as the Project Coordinator for Maine Interfaith Power & Light.

You'll find me in the store most days. I'm ably assisted by Brett Thompson, Hillary Shende, Debbie Atwood, Mandy Russell, and occasionally Jill Victor. All of us are committed to providing excellent service, honest recommendations and great products.

Our store started out as the Brunswick location of The Green Store. In the summer of 2006, we became an independent store with a tighter focus on helping our customers save the planet.

Although we've been doing the "brick and mortar" store for a while now, we're just getting serious about our online storefront. Our first step this fall is to combine Green Tidings, our free monthly newsletter, with our new blog. We hope the new combination will provide a more convenient way for you to stay up-to-date on what's happening here at the store--and we've got some exciting things in the works for those of you who like to shop online. Stay tuned!
