Warhorse Solutions--We Are Moving.

 The Warhorse logo was drawn by Jeff Thomas, Polk Co. High art teacher (my fellow teacher from across the hall). The Warhorse is Naturally Aggressive and Fiercely Kind, like many of our students at Polk High--innovative, creative young people who are on the move.

Hello all.  First, Warhorse has lots of people to thank.  And I will be getting to that soon. Warhorse has grown out of his classroom, out of  Polk Co., and into a teched up facility in Landrum. Just in case you're wondering, Warhorse was born in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Yes, we're Appalachian Mountain folk.  We celebrate our heritage of looking at people in the eyes and saying "Hello," even though we don't know them.  I have taught many transplanted high school students--visiting exchange students from all over the world, and students whose families have chosen to get out of the "city," the chaos and get closer to nature and a slower pace of life. We know the stereotypes of the south, especially Appalachia.  Well, we Polk and Landrum folk also know we do live a simpler life--one with more trees, more mountains, lakes, 4 wheelers, horses, trucks, john boats, farms, fences, and pastures, and less shopping malls.  We often strive to live a more simple life--but we are not simple-minded. We can compete.

Warhorse is leading the clean tech industry. No kidding. We currently collaborate with Appalachian State's sustainability departments, Clemson University biosystems dept., Catawba Research EcoComplex and Catawba Dept. of Engineering. Our testing and research is verified by one of the top "clean chemistry" labs in the US. We have just taken the by product from a canola crop in Hickory, NC, and with out patented recipe, turned it into the most beautiful, nurturing, non synthetic-filled golden cleanser for pets and people. Our locally inspired Warhorse and Be Kind Logo and labels introduce a product line that represents a new way to make naturally aggressive and fiercely kind products that are effective and safer. You can research the "EPA Green Chemistry" and US Cleaning Institute's information to see Warhorse is on an innovative path, a path that is supported by national industry innovators.

Yes, we're locally grown from Carolina education, AND we at the forefront of innovative green chemistry. Yes, if anyone doubts that local, creative, kick butt student and community talent is missing from our "neck of the woods," you're sorely mistaken. We're glad to be able to stay local and near the people and organizations that have helped us develop.  It's our local students, friends and customers that have given us feedback and guidance on our recipes, product uses, packaging. Warhorse IS going to grow from our Polk and Landrum Communities. Beyond offering safer cleaning solutions for people, pets, planet, Warhorse is out to create local jobs.  So far, we've got 3 local Warhorses on the ride, plus some college students from Western Carolina and NC Sate set to do summer internships. Our facility has hosted local students, teachers, PhD's, CEO's and others who have become infected with this potential.  Will Warhorse make it by some standards? Maybe not, but we have already proven we can offer people, pets, and planet a new choice of safer, naturally aggressive cleaning and fiercely kind cleansers that begin from the Earth.

The be kind solutions logo carries our pet and people cleansers.  Home grown graphic work from former Polk High student Anna Feagan and Erin Ross of Tryon Sign Shop . Their design work has received accolades from many successful companies. This name and logo now carries Warhorse's Be Kind Pet Cleanser with other products to come.  Got Local Talent.
