Growing Together
We see our growers as true partners. Expanding our support to meet your unique needs is what we do, so we proudly go beyond sales and distribution. As grower advocates, we’re driven to put our decades of experience to work for you in fresh, creative ways.
A tailored Approach
Finding the right solution is rarely one-size-fits-all. Here’s how we tailor our approach to make the most of our partnership.
Crop Planning
The organic produce marketplace is constantly changing, and it’s crucial to pick the right crops and plant the right volumes for a sustainable return. We respect your risks and are committed to providing smart market guidance while creatively partnering with you to introduce new crops and products. Our flexible planning approach meets a variety of grower needs—whether it’s a simple forecasting to kick off the season or collaborating on detailed crop plans.
Sales & Marketing
We’re here to promote and position our growers’ products to retailers in the Northwest and across the country. From consumer education and launching new varieties to thoughtful messaging and visuals, we know how to get your products in front of the right people. Need a partner to market your crop? Look to OGC.
Packing
Our skilled in-house production team is ready to customize your harvest to fit a wide range of customer needs, including pack sizes, private branding and label options – and our automated packing services can easily scale up to meet your needs. Having access to custom packing resources at a distribution point is a smart, effective way to seize real-time sales opportunities across a wide range of products.
Custom & Sustainable Packaging Supplies
Packaging orders can take a lot of time and tie up capital and storage space for growers. That’s why we use our bulk purchasing, storage and logistics capabilities to make sure our growers have a wide selection of packaging materials—from bins and UPCs to hang-tags and more. Plus, we’re dedicated to creating convenient and sustainable packaging solutions for growers of all sizes through our in-house label, Ladybug Brand®, reducing plastic and cutting waste whenever possible.
Logistics
With our fleet of biodiesel-fueled trucks, partner carriers and distribution hubs, OGC draws on a vast network of transportation resources to support growers in the Northwest and beyond. We bring a wide range of logistical solutions including back-hauling, cross-docking and more. Our focus on efficiency drives a well-tuned logistics program making sure your product moves from point A to point B in top shape and on schedule.
Organic Trade Advocacy
As a leader in the organic trade, we take our mission to grow the organic agriculture movement seriously. We see our role as more than just transporting and brokering produce; we approach the produce industry holistically and actively represent the unique needs of organic growers at both state and national levels. If there's a way OGC can help influence policy to improve and support your work, we want to hear from you.
Resource Networking
Certified organic farming is an ever-changing and complex trade. While our knowledgeable team brings decades of experience, we know when to tap into outside resources for problem-solving. With a deep network of connections, we take pride in knowing exactly who to reach out to for the answers and resources you need to navigate certifications, policy changes and market shifts successfully.
