Company Overview and Family Legacy
Frostproof Growers Supply, founded in 1985, is a fourth-generation family-run retailer of gardening and nursery supplies headquartered in Frostproof, Florida. The town sits in the heart of Florida citrus country and received its name in 1886 when Joseph Washington Carson renamed the former Keystone Heights to convince prospective landowners that a freeze would never destroy the local citrus economy. Despite a devastating freeze just eight years later, the name has endured. The company operates both a retail store in Frostproof and a nationwide online store serving home gardeners and commercial growers across all 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and international destinations.
Product Lines and Category Portfolio
The online catalog is organized into ten functional departments: budding and grafting tools (budding knives, grafting wax, grafting tape, grafting kits, sharpening tools); frost protection (frost covers, plant covers, row covers, accessories); gardening hand tools (pruners, saws, loppers, shears, shovels, forks, rakes, weeders, garden carts, aprons, gloves, kneelers); harvesting tools (fruit clippers, harvest shears, picking bags, tally counters); measuring and testing instruments (pH testers, salinity testers, soil moisture meters, rain gauges, thermometers, scales, soil probes, hand lenses); nursery supplies (tree stakes, plant and tree tags, twist ties, Max Tapener staples); pest control (animal repellents, deer netting, insect control); safety supplies (ear protection, safety goggles, first-aid kits, safety boots, respirator masks, chemical spray suits); shade cloth (knitted and woven); and lawn and garden sprayers (backpack, hand pump, hose-end, and powered). The brand portfolio spans FELCO, Fiskars, Gilmour, Dramm, Silky, Corona, Barnel, Presco, Tina, and DeWitt, positioning Frostproof as an integrated supplier for both casual and professional users.
Service Model and Customer Base
Frostproof operates a dual-channel model combining a walk-in retail store with a nationwide e-commerce platform. Its customer base is explicitly segmented into home gardeners seeking approachable starter tools and commercial growers looking for durable, high-volume solutions at competitive bulk pricing. Customer service is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, via a web contact form. The company complements its retail operations with the Frostproof Blog, which publishes practical content on the distinctions between gardening and horticulture, seasonal planting guidance, and tool selection advice, reinforcing the family-business emphasis on direct customer education.
Operating Philosophy and Shipping Commitments
The company’s core promise, “Trusted for over 28 years. Serving Nationwide. Free Shipping over $80,” is supported by a transparent policy framework: 30-day returns on new unopened items (with up to a 20% restocking fee on free-shipped orders), $20 fixed surcharge on oversized items, 24- to 48-hour order processing, and direct manufacturer fulfillment when needed. As a family-run business, Frostproof actively welcomes product suggestions from customers, and many catalog additions trace directly to user feedback accumulated over nearly four decades of continuous operation.
