ABOUT US

2012 Sanborn Business of the Year

Family owned and operated since 1854, H.A. Treichler's is a seventh generation business with an impressive family tree, rich in farming history. Terry and Mervyn Treichler run the business with a dedicated staff of family members and local workers. The staff has been dedicated to helping grow the business and most have worked there for many years.

H.A. Treichler & Sons greenhouse and farm is impressive in size, with one of the only Pennsylvania-style barns in this part of New York state still being used daily. With over 150,000 square feet of covered greenhouses, H.A. Treichler & Sons grows tens of thousands of trays of flowers and hundreds of thousands of potted plants, all nurtured right here in our family greenhouses. You can find everything from mums, annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, vegetable plants, shrubs, seeds and decorative items for your garden.

Staying on top of new seeding technology, techniques and plants, as well as listening to what the customers want contributes to the success of the business. Keeping a middle of the road price point is an important focus of management, concentrating on volume and good quality plants.

Mother's Day and Memorial Day are two key holidays that are busy. Hanging baskets and planting flowers for "mom" are always top of mind as a gift option. In recent years, there has been an increase in customers spending time concentrating on home gardens and planting around their yard. Treichler's attributes the usual warmer weather that May brings, for getting customers excited to be outdoors, planting and growing their gardens.

"H.A. Treichler & Sons Greenhouse and Farms have contributed so much to the community and always help out when asked. They are a great neighbor to the Sanborn-Lewiston Farm Museum too," says Bonnie Haskell, president of the Sanborn Business & Professional Association.
