Evergreen Al Fresco was founded by Cindy Swank, a registered nurse turned outdoor-living entrepreneur who believes that comfort and craftsmanship belong outdoors as much as indoors. After years in cardiac nursing and continuous-quality-improvement work, Cindy brought that same precision and care to curating premium fire features, pizza ovens, grills, and furniture for people who love gathering under open skies.

What began as a small dropship storefront has grown into a boutique brand known for its humor, warmth, and obsession with quality.

Behind the scenes, Evergreen is powered by a small, hands-on team:

• Cindy — CEO & Founder: product curation, brand voice, and customer experience
• Albert — Operations & Finance
• Quinn — Chief Canine Morale Officer (and backyard-testing specialist)

Every product we feature is selected for durability, design integrity, and that spark of joy that makes outdoor living unforgettable.

Evergreen Al Fresco is headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, serving customers nationwide through our online store.

And if you're wondering how all of this turned into a business, well... that started long ago.

I spent my childhood outside, in all seasons. Not in a feral “why didn’t the neighbors call CPS” way, but in the way kids in the ’burbs did in the early 70s. Barefoot all summer — on grass, gravel, hot asphalt, my bike. By August the soles of my feet were so tough you could’ve struck a wood match on them and lit the cigarette I’d quietly stolen from my older brother’s pack before heading behind the shed with my little friends to give smoking a go.

I didn’t come in until the porch light flicked on and off, which was the universal signal of the day. Only then would I come in to wash my feet in the bathroom sink, dry off with the guest towel, and hang it back up neatly before heading into the kitchen for dinner. The things my mother never knew...

The very best memories of my life happened outdoors: eating salt-soaked grilled corn-on-the-cob, negotiating summer bedtimes with the same passion world leaders reserve for trade agreements, sitting around a fire with neighbors telling round-robin stories and learning that when a guy says he's going to see a man about a horse, there’s…no horse. My mum had to grab me by the arm as I started to follow, wanting to see the horsey.

I was raised by parents who were children of the Great Depression. They had beautiful memories too — turns out joy isn’t tied to a bank balance. They saved up to buy the highest-quality item they could afford because they believed in buying once and buying well. It’s just good sense. Buying cheap means buying twice — or three times, if you’re stubborn enough to keep believing the sale sign.

God knows, life happens everywhere, every minute. Outdoor life deserves furniture, grills, smokers, ovens and accessories that hold up under the talking, laughing, arguing, relaxing and remembering that happens on and around them.

Evergreen Al Fresco runs a tight catalog. If a product doesn’t meet the standard I was raised with, it won’t make the cut. If it’s flimsy, fussy, or destined to wobble itself into the afterlife, you won’t find it here.

So welcome to your outdoor life. Have a look around. Go ahead and use the guest towel, even. Just…not on your feet.
