2023RIC - September Breakfast with Corwin Heatwole

ACG Richmond's Breakfast Series brings together the Greater Richmond business community to network and hear high caliber industry experts share their outlook, opinions, challenges and successes. 

At 23, Corwin bought his first farm to continue the family farming tradition. While he loved the farming lifestyle, he knew the business model was broken. At Farmer Focus their unique business model puts decision making back in the hands of the farmers by allowing them to own their flocks, eliminating farmer competition for compensation, and providing fair pay for their hard work. 

In addition to a commitment to organic, sustainable, humane and traceable farming, Corwin is an entrepreneur turning the farming model on its head, leveraging automation and growing Farmer Focus into a $200MM-plus company. 

Join us as we kick-off the ACG Richmond program year and learn more about the history, present and future of Farmer Focus, including:

• The problem the Farmer Focus model was created to solve
• The business success (and challenges) of this business model
• Addressing consumer preferences 
• Evolving the business from inception to present and beyond
