Career
Mary uses moose poop to make crafts that she sells at Tirdy Works. It's her comedic description of her products that is attracting customers from all around the world and has spent the last 15 years selling people moose crafts.
Tirdy Works at the Common Ground Country Fair went viral in 2018, her business exploded. Soon enough and unsurprisingly, given Winchenbach’s natural charisma.
Mary’s store
The quick-witted artist works out of her home, where she crafts items such as poo poo clocks, poo poo platters, and “fecal people,” little dolls made with moose poop.
Mary Winchenbach runs a store called “Tirdy Works,” which has been cruising the Northeastern American craft fair circuit for a decade and a half. [33]
“It’s a crappy job and we love it.”
Her viral videos caught the eyes of a few producers in Los Angeles, including Chad Greulach, an executive producer for Scout Productions, which flew out to Maine to start filming a reality show with Mary and her family.
Tirdy Works has its own television show of the same name on Trutv.
The show follows Mary, her family, and residents of the town of Somerville. The series premieres Tuesday, May 5th at 10 p.m. on Trutv.
(A note on spelling: Winchenbach firmly believes "tird" should be spelled with an "i," not a "u," and intends to contact Webster's Dictionary about it.
For our purposes here, we've gone with the traditional spelling.)
After a recent, adorable segment about her on a local NBC affiliate, she moved her store online and has been fielding thousands of orders for tchotchkes made from scavenged and processed moose turds collected from the woods around her home.
She rattles off her products with the speed and energy of an auctioneer or a used car salesman:
“The first thing that we have is instead of a cuckoo clock is a poo poo clock and we crammed the turds in between the numbers so it would be one turdy, two turdy, three turdy.
Now, like any high-quality shirt with the extra buttons on the tail, we provide four extra turds on the back with explicit turd attachment instructions.
In addition to that, we're working on incorporating the machines so when it strikes the hour it's gonna go.”
“I get excited about my turds,"
she said.
"And when I talk about it I feed off the laughter.
The more people laugh, the faster I'll go.”
It’s not just raw marketing talent that drives the engine that powers her growing business.
It’s hard work.
She’s filled five notebooks with “shitty ideas.”
“Some that have made it to market include fecal people "Depending on the shape of the middle turds there, we can do them with big boobs or guts or butts or long legs or short legs, see, because there are no two turds that are ever alike"
she told NBC,
a poo poo platter (literally a platter made of poo), a shitty eye deer (a drawing of a deer with turds for eyes, pronounced “shitty idea”), Moose- Toe for the holidays, a roach clip with a moose shit handle, and, for the truly daring, moose turd earrings.”
Her operation includes a shit-drying station, a trade secret organic shit-sealing agent that keeps the turds from stinking, and so much shipping and handling the local post office sends people to help out.
Since the NBC segment, Tirdy Works is growing almost too fast for Mary Winchenbach to handle.
Mary Said:
“I have shit from one end of this house to the other, trying to get these orders out and processing these turds,”
“I'm running out of space.
I got shit all over the kitchen table.”
Current State Of Mary Winchenbach’s Business
“Business has grown so big and so fast”
Mary Said;
In fact, Mary Winchenbach is taking a leave of absence from her fertilizer gig to handle the more than two thousand orders that have been filling her house with shit.
She may need to expand even more ambitiously to keep up.
“You know what I need?”
she asks.
“I need a shit shack.”
Mary said.
Right now she’s focused on getting out from under the pile of shit in her house, but has big ideas for her art.
Mary has an approximated net worth of $10K-$100K U.S dollars.[35]
