Pets in general are man's best friend, you've heard that several times and it's not a lie. Our pets make our days happy when they're not going well and when one day it's good they can do it even better.

     One day I was really tired and cameback home a little late from work, the only thing I expected when I arrived was to see my dog Dakota. I arrived and she was very happy, jumping all over the place and making happy puppy sounds like "hi, hi, hi, hi, you're here, hi, I love you, I missed you, I loved you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you".

     After we cuddle each other and played for a while, I decided to lie down in a hammock that I had always ready, so I did, but Dakota was still very excited and she jumped on me with her 25 kg (50 pounds) of love, it happened that after realizing that she was on an unstable surface, she decided to jump back to the floor, moment in which she putted her paws on the fabric of the hammock and broke it, as we were still on top, it opened completely and we both went straight to the floor. I laughed a little beacues of the fall and because she was a little terrified, then I realized that... "I just lost my best, favorite and only hammock", of course I couldn't blame Dakota, it wasn't her intention of course.

     “What am I going to do now with my adventures without my hammock?"... I wondered that a couple of times when I was almost crying. But…

My mom always says, "The best things are the ones that happen".

     So I decided to find a place to repair my broken hammock. After visiting a couple places I got one where the manager told me that instead of repairing that hammock, it was perhaps cheaper to make a completely new hammock. He showed me the indicated fabric, we made the measurements, we established the cost, we made a couple of modifications to the fabric patterns and we were ready.

     About a week after that he called me to tell me that the hammock was ready, I ran to the place to realize that the result was even better than I expected.

     Without much hesitation that afternoon I was already trying it out and taking some pictures when a friend saw it and liked it very much, he was going to make a trip soon and told me to make another one for him, but his trip was too soon, so he said "sell me that one", I said "mmm, why not? With the money I'll just make another one for myself and that's it, so... Sure, it's yours."

     It wasn't long before other friends called me saying they saw the hammock and liked it very much, that it was spectacular, that they wanted one too. That's where it all started. We developed a brand name, a logo and before we knew, we started manufacturing hammocks and selling them around the world.

     The name came up at the same time that we were trying out the first hammock we sold our friend. I was taking pictures of Vic in the hammock and my brother saw one of the pictures, he laughed and said that "it looks like a green bean".

This is the photo that gave the brand its name.

     We decided to use it and Green Bean Hammocks was born.

     That was in November 2015, since then we have been manufacturing and selling hammocks to individuals, travel agencies and resellers in Venezuela and around the world.
