HOW DID YOU GET INTO THIS INDUSTRY?
BFG Supply has been helping people grow for more than 45
years. Indoor growing has always been a natural part of
our business and we’ve been here for our customers as the
demand continues to grow.
WHEN AND WHERE DID BFG SUPPLY BEGIN?
BFG Supply Co. was founded by John Gander after seeing the
need for a horticultural distributor in the Great Lakes region.
Starting small, business was managed out of a local barn,
distributing to area greenhouse growers. Staffing with friends
and family, the business began to grow. Soon, a warehouse was
built and additional employees were added. Gradually expand-
ing and developing new territories, BFG became a well-known
and respected business thanks to our mission statement, which
is “To be our customers’ most trusted supplier by providing a
superior value, exceeding their quality expectations, and de-
lighting them with an exceptional customer experience. And to
create a safe, respectful, and positive work environment for our
team members and be a destination for talent.”
