Who We Are

F.W. Horch provides trustworthy advice that you can use to help save the planet.
Fred Wilson Horch, the founder, is a former corporate attorney, computer geek, private pilot, and professional environmentalist. Moving to Brunswick in 2002, where his wife is now an associate professor of neurobiology at Bowdoin College, Fred helped launched green electricity in Maine as the Project Coordinator for Maine Interfaith Power & Light.
Our small business started out as the Brunswick location of The Green Store. In the summer of 2006, we became an independent store with a tighter focus on helping our customers save the planet. In 2011, we sold our store to develop an online Sustainable Living Handbook to share what we've learned from serving thousands of customers.
