Our Story

Over the years, we have had the sincere pleasure of working with many farm and food businesses, from very early stage concept only start-ups to more established mid-sized companies looking to export.  It gives us tremendous satisfaction to watch a company go through one of our training programs, apply what they have learned, make connections and grow their business. 

Being an entrepreneur is hard work, especially in the food industry.  Seeing companies grow and succeed is what keeps us doing what we do.
