Our local food coop has their own herd of small farmers with whom they have formed a symbiotic relationship. IIRC, they even inspect these farming operations periodically. This one featured in their recent newsletter Is definitely a family farm. Excerpt:
"Kyle says that Bloomingfoods is a great partner for their Thanksgiving turkeys because they need to have like-minded distributors to help them sell their products. Being a small farm, he says they do not have the resources to market and distribute at a level of scale that would allow them to be profitable."
The rest of it:
Meet Becker Farms — Bloomingfoods Co-op Market
