Food for Thought
In our first two years of resuming production of The Jensen PackTM, we have learned couple of things. It has become evident that many of our customers have a desire to patronize a business where the backpack is "hand made". We assume that means not factory made in assembly line fashion. While we do practice production efficiency techniques, packs are made in small numbers and typically by one person. Here at Rivendell Mountain Works, the customer is able to have a dialogue with someone who actually uses and manufactures the product.
This is a small scale, community based, "micro-cottage" workshop - our counterpoint to the globally based economy. It is our choice to focus on the local community. Supporting our "backyard" by utilizing local suppliers and manufacturers is what we are about. We believe this to be a valid approach to the economies of production and beneficial to the environment in its own small way. It also becomes more possible to know our clientele on a more personal level.
