FEATURED CASE

Highland Produce Co.

Where They Started

A multi-generational family vegetable farm selling almost exclusively through local farm stands with minimal financial tracking.

What Was Standing in the Way

Lack of formal wholesale pricing models, unorganized operational records, and inability to meet regional grocery compliance criteria.

What They Built

Streamlined financial systems, standardized packing protocols, and updated food safety documentation.

What Changed

Secured contracts with a 12-store regional grocery network, increasing annual wholesale revenue by 44%.

FEATURED CASE

Green Meadow Livestock

Where They Started

A pasture-raised livestock operation looking to scale past direct-to-consumer box sales but lacking capital structure.

What Was Standing in the Way

Incomplete business records and no capital readiness documentation required by agricultural lenders.

What They Built

A comprehensive enterprise budget, funding pitch package, and institutional processing partnerships.

What Changed

Accessed a $150,000 agricultural expansion loan, hired two full-time staff, and entered institutional wholesale.
