October 12 is a special day to celebrate and honor those who make it possible for food to reach our tables: our farmers. It’s National Farmers Day and World Food Day, a perfect moment to reflect on the dedication, resilience, and hard work of local farmers who play a crucial role in feeding the world.
For us, these farmers aren’t just business partners, they’re the foundation of everything we do. The soybeans they grow fuel our efforts to produce high-quality products, which nourishes livestock, supports local restaurants, and sustains food systems. Today, we pause to say a heartfelt thank you to the farmers whose work often goes unseen but is always appreciated.
Why Local Matters
Supporting local farmers strengthens our economy, reduces the environmental impact of food transportation, and ensures fresher, higher-quality products. By choosing to source soybeans from local growers, we help sustain rural communities while maintaining the integrity of our products. It’s a partnership built on mutual respect and shared goals, and we’re proud to work alongside them every step of the way.
Gratitude for Their Hard Work
From early mornings planting to long harvest days, farming is no small feat. It takes resilience to face unpredictable weather, innovation to adopt sustainable practices, and dedication to provide for a growing population. Farmers embody these qualities and more, and their efforts deserve recognition.
A Simple Thank You
This year’s World Food Day theme reminds us that feeding the world is a collaborative effort. To every farmer who works tirelessly to grow the soybeans that make our business possible: thank you. Your work is the reason we can provide high-quality, all-natural products to the communities we serve. Today and every day, we are grateful for your partnership and proud to celebrate your vital role in our journey.
On October 12, join us in recognizing the incredible contributions of farmers everywhere. Whether it’s a handshake, a meal made with locally grown ingredients, or simply a moment of gratitude, let’s show our appreciation for the hands that feed the world.
