Company Profile

Next Generation Foods was founded in 2006 by Michael Bosworth, a fifth generation California farmer with a Masters in Agricultural and Resources Economics from University of California, Davis. With great challenges facing American farmers today, he felt he could use his extensive education and deep roots in California agriculture, to help growers adapt to the marketplace to maintain profitability.

He plans to "bridge" the gap between growers and consumers, allowing for a more transparent relationship between the field and the table, in order to better meet the needs of consumers. At the end of the day, the main goal of the company is to allow family farmers to pass their farm and the farming traditions on to the next generation.

Three Main Goals:

Create and maintain a market for value-added agricultural products from family farms in the area, to increase their economic stability and help the farm to be passed on to the next generation.

Educate the consumers about the wonderful foods that are being produced in their communities.

Provide fresh, healthy food to consumers in our communities. Reconnect the consumer with the farmer
