"We’re grateful for Lou and Ludwig Marketing for their commitment to small, growing brands like ours. Being a family farm we do our best to produce ultimate quality—and that’s our focus. Lou’s team focuses on helping our brand grow in ways that we don’t have the time or experience for. He and his team keep us motivated to continually go farther. We’ve been pitched to by a lot of marketing firms and Lou’s team is the first that we feel consistently comfortable with, trust to have our best needs in mind and grow our brand. Often marketing can feel like throwing money into the air with little known about what the outcome will be.
