Description
Our suppliers interact with many companies and individuals on a regular basis, some people call them salesmen, we prefer to think of them as problem solvers. Their experience lets them understand key challenges, issues encountered and burdens we growers face to serve our customers. As a result, our suppliers, are very trusted and imperative partners within our association, their role is essential to every grower’s success. They listen to our needs and our problems, concerns, frustrations, and they work hard to solve the problem, not just sell us a product. We deeply desire to cultivate a unique and transformative partnership with all such companies/Individuals that desire to work with us as the trials and tribulations of growing food are always present. Some view our products as high-end luxury crops that are not sustainable and do not have a huge impact on the overall food crisis. WE DISAGREE! Times are changing, the currency is changing, working life is changing, it is also vegetable consumption changing time!
Suppliers develop content, conduct research, and offer other ways to enhance the industry, we want to create a platform where suppliers can easily reach their intended market. Our partners help with a myriad of problems and we try and provide some benefits that are beneficial and unique for our members and our partners. Building strategic relationships require understanding what the business needs and using that information to create understanding with suppliers. If your mindset and company align with that concept then please partner with us. If you strictly desire to compete on price we ask that you don’t partner with us as an association but feel free to make a financial contribution to any of our listed projects.
