Justin and Wendy Hasty never dreamed they would be carrying on the willow making family tradition some 25 years later! What a dream come true! Justin considers it a blessing to have been taught this family tradition from his father-in-law, Jerel Foster when he married his daughter Wendy in 1998. Also learning the skill from his father-in-law, Jerel and his family started the business in 1985 with hopes of it doing well. They had no idea just what they had started.

Jerel established his business throughout the years by taking pride in making sure his furniture was top quality and comfortable beyond belief. Foster’s Willow was able to become such a success with those standards in mind. We lost a great part of our family with his passing in 2009.

As the story goes, Justin planned to begin college as soon as the willow making business slowed down. Thankfully, that never happened! Justin did earn something even better, a Willow Maker Degree from Foster’s Willow Patch! Being taught such an art from someone so dedicated made him decide to follow in those same footsteps.

We hope you have enjoyed doing business with us in the years past and will continue to call on us for years to come. And if you’ve never bought any of our one-of-kind willow furniture, take a look around the site and maybe a new Bent Creek Willow furniture addition at your home is just what you need!
