“There's different things that people care about most, but one common thing is that they've lost trust in where they were buying their food…We really feel like our differentiator when it comes to separating us from you know, some people who've got much larger marketing teams out there… is we have to be able to connect customers to where their food is coming from and what's actually happening on the farm and what's happening on our partner farms.”
“We found out within 3 years, we needed to have stronger partnerships…which has been a big part of our impact and what we do here because, when we started our transition into regenerative, we did not have a premium market to go to. So there was that 10-year struggle, and we feel like a big part of our impact now is to be able to…help with that transition by having a premium market for them.”
