Tiki Farm's roots came from a previous.com business venture called www.ebachelorpad.com ( now defunct ). Holden Westland started eBachelorpad with his good pal Charlie Rubel, webmaster & proprietor of Studio531.com. We had one of the earliest e-commerce sites featuring "Tiki" with an entire section dedicated to Tiki. We were frustrated with the quality of the mugs that we were selling and we thought "how hard can it be to make a ceramic Tiki mug"? Well, it wasn't quite as easy as we thought, but we decided to set-out to manufacturer high quality new designs that are affordable... about the same price as a screenprinted coffee mug. Well, time has passed and we've since gone on to become the largest manufacturer of Tiki mugs in the world. It is argued that we have produced more mugs & designs then all other manufacturers combined - ever. I can't tell you the exact number of designs but there is a coffee table book currently being developed by a well-known publisher about the history of the Tiki Farm mugs. If I had to estimate the total number of designs, 1, 000 sounds about right. As for the total quantity of mugs, that's even harder. 2 million sounds like a good estimate. Most all of our mugs have gone on to become collectible in some way, shape or form. Our lower run limited edition earlier mugs are now quite valuable. I've seen some sell for the $200-$300 range. But what's great is that you can buy our newer mugs for right around $10-$15. We are constantly adding new Tiki designers and new Tiki mug designs to our stable of mugs. If you are a designer with a history of art deeply rooted in the whole Tiki movement, we are receptive to seeing your designs and perhaps bringing your design to a 3-dimensional mug reality. I always get great pleasure in seeing our artist's hold their mugs for the very first time. It sounds kind of silly, but it is always an experience that I believe exceeds the artists' expectations. People think we are this giant company but we are not. We employ a total of 4 people in our San Clemente office & have 7 full-time people strictly dedicated to Tiki Farm production at the factory. We work with some of the most recognized artist's in today's Tiki/Lowbrow movement. Our stable of artists includes...
