Why are our prices so low?
One of the most frequent comments we receive is about our prices, that they are “so low” that it raises questions. 
It's proving difficult to answer properly diplomatically, but I'm going to do it anyway, with my 24 years of experience in e-commerce, consulting, entrepreneurship and horticulture.
I've noticed three main factors that dictate most businesses:
Greed : Far too many are solely based on making as much money as possible, as quickly as possible, and that it always keeps growing, so that their customers and employees are always the losers, and those at the top are the only winners.
Incompetence : One of the most expensive things I've seen in business is paying way too much for things that are simple, especially when it comes to technology, and ultimately drives up prices artificially and drastically.
Neglect : Often, bigger and/or older companies have outsized budgets, and they slow down or even stop evolving. They don't stay on top of changes, or they continue to use suppliers for too long, which again artificially drives up prices.
The first reason we decided to leave Joual Vert was because as horticulture enthusiasts, we felt very poorly served most of the time, especially in terms of price, quality, service to customers and modernity. We also produced several kinds of seeds before, now even more, and producer friends fill the rest.
We're barely a year and a half old, we're a family co-op of three people plus an employee, all fantastic, I have skills and experience to spare, I'm autistic, I love math, and I do everything I can to make enough profit for everyone to be well paid, and for all our customers to be satisfied.
So the prices you see, the service you receive and the interaction you have on our social media are the result of a lifetime I poured into this latest adventure.
