Meet the oostaMo Farmers

We know our farmers personally. We know which product comes from whom and through what farming and processing practices. Our short and transparent supply chain is the key to achieving our quality and sustainability goals.

We partner with our farmers and educate them on two topics:

  1. Improving the quality of the product through better farming and processing practices
  2. Taking one small step at a time towards sustainability
We have designed a system of quality and sustainability badges. Farmers can obtain more and more badges by switching to better farming practices. You can read more about our system of badges.
 
    Farmers will get better prices by obtaining more quality and sustainability badges.
