As consumers we make choices every day. Organic vs non-organic. Glass vs plastic. These choices affect more than our own lives. They drive the newest technology, fashion trends and quality standards. They can increase or decrease sustainability and our health. If leveraged correctly, they can also solve problems. These choices have a profound impact on environmental, social and economic issues and as entrepreneurs we can make business choices that can have an impact.

Farmented Foods (Vanessa Walsten and Vanessa Bakken) has a mission to eliminate all unnecessary food loss on farms. They take the over-produced and ugly vegetables from small, local, organic farms and ferment them into products for sale in local stores.
