Adding to my love of obscure supply catalogs..

My addiction to obscure supply catalogs is alive and kickin' these days. First is was McMaster-Carr, with its thousands of pages of industrial goodness. Recently its been foodservice suppliers like AceMart and Instawares, or packaging supplies like PaperMart. Anything with "mart" in the title, really.

But the newest to catch my eye is Farm Tek (via Apartment Therapy). Its got hundreds of pages of the most random, fascinating farming supplies you've ever seen. From huge plastic tents for sheltering tractors, to specialized rollings carts for weighing piglets - its got oodles of fun things to look at. The best stuff is less livestock-related and more agricultural (although I have no objection to pigs, I don't really want to raise them, you see) such as greenhouses, plant carts, seedling trays, hundred-foot industrial watering hoses with specialty attachments, etc. And of course 10ft x 10ft portable canvas-sided buildings for those inevitable roadside plant sales. This stuff is golden!

(My evil, crafty mind also tells me that if I ever wanted to exhibit at a local craft show, a sturdy canvas-side shelter is a must-have. Mua ha ha!)
