Since I primarily collect vintage mugs, I for one can say I am very happy Tiki Farm exists. The production of new mugs by any manufacturer keeps the availabilty of product fluid and provides a wider selection and variety of choices to select from. I find I have less competition finding vintage because of the newer ones being produced that are readily available to a market not inclined to seek out older items.

I also have quite a few Tiki Farm mugs in my collection. I can't think of one I own I don't like or think I paid too much for. The sheer volume of selection should satisfy just about anyone who collects or admires mugs. The price for the product sold is probably the least expensive out there, behind Dynasty.

I too have met Holden. He came up to Sacramento last year for our Swantiki event and in my opinion, was a warm and friendly guy, easy to talk to and extremely down to earth. I was a little frustrated with how long it took for our event mugs to be produced, but not knowing the process, I received an education that I ended up apologizing for.

So Holden, if you read this, know that even though I prefer vintage I admire your efforts and the talent you and your company exude. Many, many more year of success and mug manufacturing; eventually Tiki Farm will be vintage and a whole new generation of collectors will be seeking it out as so.

Tiki Farm does not suck! Quite the contrary and I am not even sure why anyone would want to express that.
