Description
OLD SALT CO OP PROVIDES MEAT WITH INTEGRITY SOURCED FROM MONTANA LANDSCAPES ITS CUSTOMERS CARE ABOUT. OWNED DIRECTLY BY THE RANCHERS THAT SUPPLY IT AND BY BUTCHERS, CHEFS, AND CREATIVES WHO RUN IT, OLD SALT IS FUELED BY CUSTOMERS WHO RETURN VALUE BACK TO THE SOURCE. OLD SALT LAUNCHED BASED ON WHAT RANCHERS HAVE KNOWN FOR TOO LONG. THE CURRENT INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM ISN T WORKING FOR THEM. AS PROCESSING HAS BEEN CONSOLIDATED, THE INDEPENDENT RANCH HAS BEEN SQUEEZED TO THE POINT WHERE BREAKING EVEN IS THE GOAL. WITH LIMITED CAPACITY, INDEPENDENT RANCHERS ARE LINING UP FOR YEARS TO GET FINISHED LIVESTOCK CUSTOM PROCESSES OR ARE SACRIFICING SIGNIFICANT REVENUE BY SENDING JUVENILE CALVES AND OTHER ANIMALS OUT OF STATE TO LARGER WHOLESALERS. THE MEAT ENDS UP AN ANONYMOUS COMMODITY, PURCHASED SOMEPLACE BY SOMEONE UNKNOWN.WE ARE WORKING TO CHANGE THAT BY CREATING A CULTURE AND A MARKET CHANNEL FOR LOCAL MEAT IN MONTANA. WITH FUNDING FROM LFPP, OLD SALT WILL LAUNCH A MEAT SHARE PROGRAM THAT INCLUDES EVALUATION OF THE ECOLOGICAL OUTCOMES AND RANCH TRACEABILITY. WE WILL GROW THIS PROGRAM TO DIRECTLY WORK WITH 10 RANCHERS IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS AND SERVICE NO LESS THAN 4,000 SUBSCRIBERS. WE WILL COUPLE THAT WITH A ROBUST MARKETING EFFORT THAT WILL GROW INTEREST IN LOCAL MEAT THAT IS FROM ANIMALS RAISED WITH INTEGRITY. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THROUGH THE COLLABORATIVE WORK OF OLD SALT, INDEPENDENT RANCHERS IN OUR STATE CAN THRIVE AND CONNECT WITH THEIR LOCAL MARKET.
