“We’ve had a lot of conventional farmers come to us and ask how they can become organic, which is a blessing.”“Upstate New York is such a bastion for amazing food right now. It’s not new to us, but it’s new to a lot of people.”
“Our vision in 2012 is to get our logistics viable enough to get into bigger markers.”
“Re imagining distribution systems shouldn’t be so hard. My farm is 150 miles from here!”
