About Us
In 2018, Green Valley Tees LLC. was founded by Kyle and Ashley as a small family business focusing on providing quality screen printing and embroidery to its customers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kyle, a flight medic, and Ashley, a pediatric nurse, needed to prioritize their full-time work responsibilities as well as raising their two young daughters over growing their business. This led to the decision to indefinitely close Green Valley Tees LLC despite the desire to keep it going. Times and situations have changed, however, and we’re back, better than ever!
Our new business, Retriever Ink & Thread Co. is a family-owned business located in the quaint town of Eastford, CT. Founded by husband and wife team Kyle and Ashley, our company specializes in customized embroidery, apparel printing, and engraving services. With our backgrounds in emergency services and the healthcare setting, we know the brands you love and understand what you’re looking for.
Retriever Ink & Thread Co. is named after the family’s beloved Labrador Retrievers, Gunner and Maverick.
Meet the goodest boys!
Gunner
Gunner is our 8 year old goofy and loving chocolate. He is all about cuddling, swimming, playing fetch, and going on walks to smell ALL the things. He wishes to one day visit a tennis ball factory.
Maverick
Maverick is a handsome fox red lab puppy who was born and raised here in Eastford. He loves belly rubs, being held like a toddler, and playing tug of war with Gunner.
