Like many kids who grew up working countless hours on our family farms, they dreamed of the day when they would move to the city and get a “real job.” In late 2013, they decided to step away from the corporate giants and return to their roots by creating a completely new type of agency, focusing all of our efforts on the true source of our food supply, the local farmer. Whether they are working with a dairy farm in Chapel Hill or a small bakery in Wilmington, their primary focus is always the same: Helping their local clients get their unique products into the marketplace and build their brand together to achieve sustainable, long-term success. Our local community is getting stronger and stronger! Thank you for being a part of the buy local movement!     Copyright © 2015 Shop Local Raleigh, All rights reserved. |
