Building Relationships
We can always just sit here and tell you how great we are, but we’ll let out amazing clients tell you instead. TGC strives to always provide quality customer service and it shows.
Tuscarora Grain is our best off-farm organic grain and input supplier and buyer, Chris operates with integrity as a buyer and seller. Chris Johnson does a wonderful job supporting American Grown organic and non-GMO products, in a time with a lot of dubious sourcing in the Organic industry, I trust that Chris sources fairly from American growers.
We are so happy to have Tuscarora Grain as a customer on our rail lines, Chris at Tuscarora has been great to work with. His company is always working hard to meet their customer’s needs and we are happy to work with him to grow his business. It’s obvious he cares about his customers.
We cannot thank you enough for all the stop-gap corn shipments. It was oddly challenging when all that unexpected growth this spring/summer threw our inventory projections so out of whack. Growth is a good problem if we can get more supply, and thanks to you, we could. We look forward to doing more business in the future.
