In a room filled with changemakers from around the state, Mountain Rose Herbs’ CEO and CFO, Cameron Stearns proudly accepted the Oregon Organic Coalition Retailer of the Year Award. The Oregon Organic Coalition’s Awards for Excellence recognizes organizations whose vision, leadership, and innovation strengthen Oregon’s organic food and farming movement.
Candidates are nominated by community members and are then voted on by a committee of organic stakeholders. The criteria are based on innovation, service, expansion, and achievements. Other considerations include those businesses whose work prioritizes local and regional organic products, educates the community, and cultivates long-standing relationships with Oregon’s organic farmers.
“As an independent company, we are uniquely positioned to tell the story of the importance of organics at the shelf level,” Stearns said upon accepting the award. “We are dedicated to working alongside US organic farmers to not only increase organic market share, but to meaningfully add organic acreage right here at home.” Stearns also shared sentiments of Mountain Rose Herbs’ success being largely due to the hard work done out in the field by their farm partners. One such partner, Oshalla Farm, was also recognized with an Oregon Organic Coalition Farmer of the Year Award in the Field, Fiber, and Orchard Crops Category.
We are incredibly proud to work with such incredible farmers and visionaries in this space. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to ensure the future of organic agriculture, and this award is one of the ways to celebrate a lot of this unseen work.
