About GenTree Living
Home » About Us
We Buy Once.
We Buy Right.
GenTree Living was built for homeowners who are done settling.
Done with products that look good in photos but fall apart in real life. Done with sustainability
claims that don’t hold up to scrutiny. Done with buying the same thing twice.
We are a curated discovery hub for the Legacy Buyer — sustainability-focused homeowners,
intergenerational families, and grandparents with real buying power who want the last pizza
oven, cookware set, or solar array they’ll ever need to buy.
We Review:
- The Conscious Culinary — cookware, pizza ovens, eco kitchenware
- Sustainable Food Security — hydroponics, indoor growing, food preservation
- Energy Independence — solar, battery storage, off-grid resilience
- Modern Homesteading — DIY tools, smart home security, outdoor living

We are a best-of destination, not an everything site. Every brand we feature passes our standards for sustainability, craftsmanship, and long-term value. Our recommendations are never for sale.
Who We Are
GenTree Living is part of the GenTree Global family of brands, founded by John and Pam
McBride out of Southbury, Connecticut. John brings 38 years of real estate and home
intelligence expertise. Pam brings a lifelong commitment to quality, sustainability, and
intentional living.
Together, they built GenTree to answer a question they kept hearing from families: “Where do I
find products I can actually trust?”
GenTree Living is the answer.
Our Review Standards
Before any product appears on GenTree Living, it must pass our baseline review:
- Genuine sustainability credentials or craftsmanship durability
- Preference for third-party certifications: GOTS, B Corp, Fair Trade, ENERGY STAR
- No fast fashion, disposable goods, or greenwashed claims
- Transparent supply chain and ethical sourcing where relevant
- Long-term product availability — we don’t feature products that disappear
We earn commissions on some products we recommend. That never changes what we
recommend. Our editorial standards and our affiliate relationships are completely independent of each other.
