So how is it that a company is able to grow from its humble beginnings in an old Oregon dairy barn to the leader of its industry?

In our case, first we had to create the industry. That happened in 1978, when we pioneered the modern adaptation of the yurt, which centuries ago was the traditional dwelling of Mongolian nomads. From that point forward, as other yurt companies have come and gone, we've continued to grow and to stay atop our industry.

We attribute our success to a combination of factors, not the least of which, of course, is the quality of our product. But as much as our customers rave about their yurts, they also speak of the quality of their experience with our company. For all of us at Pacific Yurts, there could be no higher praise. From the beginning, our guiding philosophy has been to create the best yurt in the world, and to treat our customers the way we like to be treated as customers – professionally, respectfully, fairly and honestly.

The quality of our product and service, of course, is dependent on the people responsible for building or providing it. To ensure we attract and retain high-quality people, we are committed to maintaining a culture that fosters respect for each other, our customers, our community and our environment.

In 2009 we received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Mayor of our city in appreciation of our “overwhelming commitment to improving the community,” and many of our staff members are active in local charities and organizations.

• Providing a safe and friendly work environment and treating each other with respect and dignity.
• Applying the highest standards of excellence to the design and manufacturing of our yurts.
• Striving for happy and satisfied customers 100 percent of the time.
• Providing financial support and human resources to a variety of community causes.
