There are many ways that farmers can form cooperatives. Sometimes a true cooperative is created, in other cases it might be that a meat processor acts as a focal point and works with a "cluster" of livestock producers. Regardless of the legal and organizational shape, these cooperatives, alliances and clusters can derive HUGE benefit in working with Litams.

It is also possible to request a private label. This has many benefits, such as recognition, brand promotion, and integration with your back-end. If you're interested to discuss private label, please contact Hans Vanderhoek at hans@litams.com.
