There are three separate areas: a bulk and rack section, cooler and freezer. Organic Meadow opened the warehouse because it wants to improve the level of inventory that’s available “so we have inventory on hand in one location all the time,” he explains. The warehouse facility makes it much easier for the company’s distributors and retailers to have access to the inventory.Organic Meadow is an organic farmers’ co-operative with more than 160 members, including more than 100 family farms.
