When Gates Studio principal, Valerie Gates read Omnivore's Dilemma and Animal,
Vegetable and Miracle, she knew she had to do something to help. Gates came up
with the idea to offer local growers her studio�s design and branding services
on a creative sliding scale. With help from SEMAP, she put out the word to local
farms that she was offering her studio�s services on a first-come, first-served
basis as follows:
First five farms: a barter agreement of design time and
services for organic food or CSA shares
Next five farms: 75% discount on
rates for services
Next five farms: 50% discount on rates for services
Next five farms: 25% discount on rates for services
By the end of the second
day, Gates had over 15 farms and local growers lined up to take advantage of her
unique offer. �I wanted to do my part in helping even out the playing field for
small growers and help them compete with larger farms and organizations that
have larger marketing budgets,� explained Gates.
