Though large agribusiness may have a grasp on the market, smaller farmers and food producers are carving out a new way of growing, making and selling in-demand products. We’re proud to say that leading this movement are a few Marin Organic Producers who are boosting the economy of small agricultural businesses through premium, handmade offerings.
Their financial success is a result of “adding value and bringing a handmade aesthetic to the crops they nurture,” reports blogger Karen Brown, who recently wrote about Marin Organic Producer members Nicasio Valley Cheese Company and AllStar Organics. After rethinking and infusing creativity into their operations, both producers found a way to provide delicious and profitable artisan products.
